Well made works great – USB to RS232 Serial Port Adapter (Transparent Green) Reviews

posted by eoghanc on 09/19/2009 Certified Owner

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

Pros:
- Smaller than other, similar adapters
- Solidly built
- Comes with USB extension cable
- Comes with Windows drivers
- works without drivers on Ubuntu
Cons:
- Holding screws a bit tight, hard to use
- ... no choice in colour?
Other:
- Looking at the circuit board, there is still room for miniaturisation
- Not bulky but quite long
Bottomline:
Works extremely well. Useful for connecting serial devices to netbooks and other modern pcs that lack serial ports not to mention smart appliances that run linux.
