## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy and Compatible – Great for Console Access
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 August 2025*

This is a solid USB to serial adapter. Fair price for the quality, length and sturdiness. Uses common prolific chipset which Windows should install automatically. Overall connectivity is good, useful for a variety of tasks from console access to networking equipment to downloading data from PAT testers. Not sure on total speed however serial is limited to 900kbps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Connected new PC's up to old CNC machines no problem
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 November 2024*

Highly recommended.Using these we were able to replace the ancient PC's connected to our CNC machines with passively cooled SFF PC's.Didn't have any issues with setup, and they've been in use for over a year now without issue.
