Awesome!! One of the only serial to USB adapters out there with status lights. Makes it very easy to trouble and diagnose serial data issues and pin configurations. Also works out-of-the-box on Win 7 x64 with no need to install additional drivers. Thanks for the great product!!
I needed a serial cable to communicate to an Allen Bradley Micrologix PLC and my laptop does not have a RS-232 serial port. I read about some bad experiences people have had with other adapters. It seemed that the general consensus has been to stick with the FTDI chipset adapters.
My computer uses the 64-bit version of Windows 7. When I plugged the adapter in, the OS recognized it and downloaded the drivers via Windows update. It defaulted to COM7, so I changed it to COM1 and connected it to the PLC. I auto-configured a DF1 channel in RSLinx Classic and immediately discovered it using RSWho.
After having struggled with corrupt data on my PL2303-based adapter every few minutes, I was suspecting problems with the target device, especially when the problem persisted after swapping adapters, reloading drivers, and trying a different PC.
As a Network Engineer working with Cisco products it is necessary for me to have a serial port available to console into routers and switches and new notebooks no longer have a serial port as a standard feature so USB serial adapters are required. If you just have a cable then if the console port does not come up then you have to figure out if it is the notebook or the console port that is causing the issue. Having the LED breakout indicators makes this much easier. I highly recommend this product.
It works where others failI used this to connect my laptop to stepper motor drivers which require serial input to change settings. Two other adapters failed and this one worked straight away with no tweaking.
Worked perfectly and saved my business ton of moneyI own a veterinary practice and we have a digital radiology unit that has two monitors one of which is a touchscreen that is used to set the parameters for radiographs. The com port that the monitor was attached to stopped functioning, so by using this cable serial adapter we were able to transfer the monitor connection and function to a usb port. To repair/replace the card with a new com port on our special computer was estimated to be in the neighborhood of 800 to 1,000 dollars. Less than 30 dollars was a real bargain. Converting over to this cable connection was quick and easy.
Worked perfectlyWindows 10 on my laptop: immediately identified device as a COM port with no additional drivers required. Immediately connected to my Parker SSD motor drive using their DSE Lite tool, no issues what so ever. This is the FTDI USB-RS232 adapter you need!
This Adapter Works While Others Did NotAfter trying unsuccessfully for hours to get a different RS232-to-USB adapter to work, I was able to install the Gearmo adapter and get it running in perhaps 10 minutes. It also came with its own driver DVD which was appreciated after so much trouble with the other adapter, wondering if indeed I had found the best driver.
Saved the dayOne of our computers died and it had this serial device connected to it. The new computer did not come with any serial ports as expected. I purchased this device to convert the USB to RS232 and for our surprise it worked very well and we are back in business. It comes with a small CD disk with drivers for all operating systems you can think of like linux, android, mac, windows CE, and regular windows from XP to 10 64-bit.

I find this kind of lame that in the year 2018 they somehow still managed to make the plain vanilla 9600 bps communication over a serial link adapter-depend. But it is what it is. All tools and apps seem to work fine with FTDI-based adapters.
I have used (and programmed against) these particular Prolific adapters for the last 10+ years for all kinds of projects without any issues whatsoever. This is the first time I ran into an adapter-specific problem. Particularly puzzling is the fact that the physical-level link must be working fine as both CFM and NSOL can communicate over it. It is just NexRemote and the ASCOM serial port helper which must be doing something... unusual I guess. I looked at the ASCOM source code for their serial port wrapper, and while it looks a bit over-engineered, there is nothing obviously wrong with it. 2ff7e9595c
