USB to RS-232 Serial Adapter DB9 - 8 Inch Short Cable

Product Review (submitted on January 1, 2012):

As someone that still needs to use serial console cables from time to time (accessing Cisco equipment), I needed something that wouldn't send my Windows 7 x64 laptop into BSOD hell. After some googling, it turns out the FTDI chipset works fine and doesn't cause issues with Windows 7 x64.I've tested this extensively while setting up and staging equipment for labs and customers. What I do notice (in putty) is that sometimes scrolling or pasting in a lot of commands can cause it to just stop working. It's easy to just close the session and reopen it, but it's annoying if you're working with a large script/configuration. I'll try secureCRT later to see if it's just a putty problem.Overall I'm very happy with the purchase since it allows me to do what I need to do without breaking my laptop =).
