This one worked the first try.
This unit worked perfectly right out of the box for my PIMPx ECU. It has the correct prolific chipset, so there is no need for searching the web for fixes or patches that I have had to do with the Sabrent version. If you have a PIMPx and are tired of dealing with the connection errors, etc., then this is the one you want. Maker sure to uninstall all of the previous drivers and restart before installing the new driver from their website.

Affordable and reliable!
These have been my goto option for RS-232 connectivity for a number of years. I have used dozens of these with much success on Windows, Linux, Mac and FreeBSD over the years. On the Windows platform, the driver in included with the operating system from Windows 7 and beyond, so they “just work” on anything you’re likely to use it with today. I am NOT a paid reviewer or been given freebies. I am just a customer trying to help others. I hope my review helps you make an informed purchasing decision!

Works great - no drivers needed
Had an old one from a different manufacturer and was having a ton of issues finding a driver that works with today's computers. Got tired of looking and decided to just order this one and it worked right out of the box. Zero issues.

High compatibility
Easily one of the most compatible serial to usb adapter cables you can buy. If you want to know that the cable is good 99.99 percent of the time this is the one to buy.

They are easy to use.
It is plug and play,and it works very well. The only bad thing is it generates alot of RFI in the 100 to 300 mhz range. I use it to allow my tablet to control the frequency of two radios, when I am using the amateur radio satellites. I have to listen on 145 -146 mhz. Go up on 445-446 mhz. I am working on shielding them to reduce the noise they create, the signals from the satellites are weak. Sometimes I can't hear them due to the RFI created. Tony

Was GREAT ... but does not work with Windows 11
I have been using several of these adapters quite successfully for several months, but then I upgraded one of my PCs to Windows 11, and the adapter no longer works. In device manager there is a message saying "Please install corresponding PL2303 driver to support Windows 11 and further OS." I have searched, there does not appear to be such a driver available!
