USB to Serial RS-232 Adapter with LED Indicators, FTDI Chipset, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Mac OS X 10.6 and Above

Product Review (submitted on July 15, 2014):

Yes, this uses the FTDI chip and it works. A Prolific-based unit did not work in the same application. The pretty lights are fun to watch when in operation, but you probably won't need them. As an engineer, like to watch things work so the extra couple of bucks was worth it in case I had to do any troubleshooting. But then you need to have trouble in order to troubleshoot. I didn't have any.
About as "plug and play" as you can get.
