Use to communicate with fire panel
I needed this to help program and diagnose a fire alarm panel. I initially wired my connector incorrectly and could not get any communication. Thanks to the lights on this adapter I was able to quickly diagnose my mistake and get my programming done. I had originally used a more expensive adapter from a local store but couldn't get any communication and thought it was defective (which I later learned was my mistake). If you need a USB to serial, this is the only way to go!

IMO FTDI works better than Prolific
I bought this RS-232 adapter to replace a similar device that was based on the Prolific chip. The Prolific seems to be getting increasingly difficult to get working in Windows 10/11 OS. Not sure what's changed but I grew tired enough of it that I decided to give this FTDI-based unit a try. I'm pleased to say that it works perfectly. I use it for programming a variety PLC devices (ATOS solenoid drivers, etc). Another great feature is the line activity lights that show whether or not signal is present on each individual conductor of the RS-232 connector. This, I have found quite useful in troubleshooting and simpler than software-based solutions.

Everything you need
Unit arrived as described and early. The best part is that it contained a thoughtfully prepared software disc with documentation for installation and even modification of the included drivers for any system you may have including Linux and Mac. I was sufficiently impressed to write a review. I will definitely buy from these guys again.
