36in FTDI USB to Serial Cable for MAC PC Linux, Win 11 w/ Tx/Rx LEDs

Product Review (submitted on August 2, 2015):

I have a Dell running Win7-64bit. Had purchased a cheap USB-Serial converter from "B" and it was beyond frustrating as it would periodically crash my PC (BSOD). I tried numerous setting to avoid buffer overrun to no avail. Vendor support was pretty much non-existent, so I finally gave up and decided to research USB-Serial adapters. All information pointed to the chipset and drivers, so found this FTDI unit and gave it a shot.

I had to load UBS bus driver and USB serial port driver. Then gave it a thorough test drive. It ran flawlessly.

I highly recommend steering away from anything that does not use the FTDI chip set. But this one and you'll be fine.
