Before you purchase check how it's secured to its mating connector.
The reason for the 3 stars is because of the way it mounts to the equipment it is intended to be used with. Every other USB to RS232 that I have seen and have in use has screws on both sided to allow you to secure it to the equipment with the screws. This one does not have screws to hold it in place once it is plugged in. The USB to RS232 electronics work fine I hope that the small pins of the DB-9 connector (blue case) will be enough to hold the connector in place, This should have been brought to the attention of the customer prior to ordering. Knowing that, I would have never ordered it.

Great RS232 adapter for Windows 7 Laptop
I am using some old Windows XP software that connects to a GE Vibration Monitor for configuration. You have to use RS232 and my new Laptop does not have an RS232 Port. This plugs right into the USB port which I do have and then gives a DB9 Pin plug to hook your cable to.It worked great and configuration was so easy a caveman could do it.. Dont forget to get some DB9 adapter plugs to make your cable connection.

Good so far...
I upgraded from an old Triplite adapter. It was causing my HP Probook to crash. So far, no crashes and I like the extra length. I would give it 5 stars if the drivers were available from Windows Update.

Works great but required a little modification to connector
AS the title indicates the device works great but getting it attached the the other RS-232 device required removal of the two nuts and the protective metal shell around the pins. Yes I suppose another option would have been to try some kind of adapter but I couldn't find my kit/collection of RS-232 adapters and cables from 25+ years ago.

One of the best USB to RS232 Converters
I'm working with different type of equipment via RS232 interfaces everyday. Find an appropriate driver for specific OS was always a problem for me before I bought this one. It just works everywhere on Windows, Mac OS and Linux as plug and play. I'm completely satisfied.

Easy install no issues on Windows and Linux
This USB to RS232 connector was up and running in less than 2 minutes on Windows 7 X64. I would recommend it to anyone. It was auto-detected on Ubuntu Linux as well and required no installation.
