Highlights
Quality
This is a quality cable and worked as described.
Works great, did need to download the correct drivers for the chip.
None worked but this one first time i plugged it in.
It works on the latestest chirp build and is not the knock off.
Price
Now, they're down to the us$10-$12 level; cheap enough to order a backup.
Ftdi cables cost around $17-$18 a few years ago.
Pay a couple bucks more and get one that works!
Shipping
It came quickly and when i plugged it in, the drivers loaded automatically.
