Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Great product. Extremely delighted. I always carry a tripp-lite or staples in case of a compatibility issue. Cable is a decent length.

The dsub-9/db-9 serial port has been around since the early 1960's. It is still used to connect to legacy equipment from the early 1970's. The adapter works on both cisco and brocade devices.



Cons

Bsod issues with the com driver. Drivers give me the blue screen of death and crashing my windows xp system. This seems to be a problem with the prolific chipset. I recommend searching for an ftdi usb to serial rs232 adapter cable.

This is very cheaply made. It is unreasonable to not have removable lock nuts.

Hp, dell and others for example, still make laptops for industry with these ports, although it and procurement departments incr...  Read More


These other brands work well (and in the case of tripp-lite, use a different chip-set which claims to support the broadest numb...  Read More

    Thanks in part to regulation and infrastructure circuits as well as management ports used on virtually every equipment system in a co we constantly use these good old rs232c serial interfaces a standard that actually has been around since the early 1960s though not using todays connector types

    Try as they might laptop vendors just cannot fully get rid of certain legacy ports
