Belkin USB Serial Modular Adapter for Mac Din8/DB9 with 5 Imac Colored Sleeves Review

Belkin USB Serial Modular Adapter for Mac Din8/DB9 with 5 Imac Colored Sleeves
Average Reviews:

Not at all happy with this device. The claim "compatible with all serial devices" the reality is it is not . I wanted to connect my LaserWriter to my iMac (serial to USB). After much frustration I called Belkin and was told that this product does not support LaserWriter printers. Belkin was not very helpful and returning the product means I am out the shipping. If you are considering this product call to get specific compatiblity specs.

If you need a plug to connect a series of serial cables together this is your part. However if your converting null modem cable or a non-standard end the extra nut on one side are going to cause you issues.

Cubeternet USB to Serial DB9/DB25 Adapter Cable (4 Ft) for PC, Mac and Linux Review

Cubeternet USB to Serial DB9/DB25 Adapter Cable (4 Ft) for PC, Mac and Linux
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I do embedded hardware development, and frequently need RS232 for communication or debug with embedded devices. As PCs typically no longer include serial ports have become vital.
The nature of my work also means the devices I'm communicating with use a variety of baud rates, and are frequently powered up and down, causing spurious receive bits or handshake changes. Older Prolific USB-serial chipsets and especially FTDI chipsets handle such situations incredibly badly, and can easily get in a state where they do not send or receive any more serial traffic until the USB-serial adapter is unplugged and replugged - frustrating and time-consuming. The newer Prolific chipset on this device appears solid, and I've not yet lost serial traffic due to baud changes or power cycles of serial devices.

I had to take the two mounting nuts off the connector to get it to work on my RS232 device. That was a pain and almost broke it, but after that I've been using it without any problems. Software is included to set up the device.

This product is useless since my laptop runs XP and the manufacturer has still not posted updated XP drivers on their website. Any attempt to e-mail them results in bounced messages due to them "going over their mail quota". Gee, I wonder why. There are probably many other unhappy customers out there.

Serial Adapter - Plug-in Module - Compactflash Card - RS-232 - 921 Kbps Review

Serial Adapter - Plug-in Module - Compactflash Card - RS-232 - 921 Kbps
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this to connect a Dell PDA to a Raven GPS system. It works very well for this combination. I have also purchased a "non-ruggedized version," and I wouldn't recommend it unless absolutely necessary. It is little more flimsy in the connection between the cable and the CF card, and extra care needs to be taken when handling the "non-ruggedized" version. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

The battery-saving feature extends your computer's battery life, using only 2.4 mA. This version includes an irremovable cable with molded strain relief.

Belkin USB SERIAL PORT ADAPTER ( F5U409-CU ) Review

Belkin USB SERIAL PORT ADAPTER ( F5U409-CU )
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Can't get my new laptop to recognize a serial transcription pedal plugged into the USB via the Belkin because there is no Windows 7 driver. It's not mentioned on the CD that came with the cable. Nor is there a Windows 7 driver available on the Belkin site. Works fine on an old XP machine but that's not the one I bought the cable for since that pc also has serial. Windows 7 has been out a while so I wonder if Belkin even plans on creating drivers for that OS for its existing cables.

Even though the cost is only $9.95, it's not even worth that. There are no installation instructions with the hardware, nor is there even a brand name to go look up information. Though the packaging saids that it's Microsoft compatible, the software is not microsoft test verified. In my case it would work okay for a (very) little while, then my computer to would cease to recognize it, and I'd have to remove the software and hardware (in the device manager), restart the computer and reinstall everything from the beginning. Worse yet, after discovering that the product was made by a company called Huge Pine, their site offers no assistance whatsoever (or even mentions that they have this product).
Spend a little more money and save yourself the aggrivation.

This item comes with absolutely no instructions for installation. The enclosed CD contained drivers to many products and was equally useless. I only found the correct driver after I called a company whose README file was on the CD who no doubt had many calls from others about the same product. The company had no affiliation with the actual product but they were kind enough to help me identify the item and I was then able to install a driver.
The unit does work properly now that the correct driver is installed but I don't envy the mere mortal that purchases this device. It is ridiculous that there are no instructions. So in an effort to help anyone that has purchased this device (or plans to purchase it) here are the instructions to install the driver.
When the unit is plugged in identifies itself as USB SER! The unit has a barely legible HL-340 molded on the side of the DB9 connector. HL-340 is the part number and with that you can find the driver installation executable (HL-340.exe) for the device under the folder USB-232 on the USB driver mini CD that comes with the device.
Don't expect to tell Windows to search the CD for the device driver - it won't find it because the driver installation is an .exe file that you need to run manually first. Simply run USB-232\HL-340\HL-340.exe first and then plug the device in.
After connecting the device, Windows will prompt you to install the driver. Follow the usual Windows prompts to install the driver software automatically (since the driver software was already installed on the system in the previous step). The driver identifies itself as USB Serial CH340 to add further confusion.
You will get warnings about the driver not having passed Windows Logo testing. You can ignore those warnings and install the driver anyway.
The com port should appear in the com port menus of whatever software that tries to use a com port - in my system it appeared as COM7 and this will probably vary on other systems.
Once the device is installed it works properly so I can't know it from that standpoint. It was just an ordeal to get it working. I hope that this helps someone.

I should have believed those other reviews that says this Serial Adapter doesn't work on XP, because it doesn't. The driver included on the CD does absolutly nothing, and the adapter simply will not work. Do not buy it if you are running XP.

I bought this and its female/female equivelant to supplement my work toolkit as I had a recent job that required a serial uplink for testing and these work great at converting an otherwise basic DB9 Serial cable to its various forms so that I would always have the right connectivity when I need it most. Going to Radio Shack cost me almost $40 for a cable and set of gender changers. I think I got this for a nominal $3.00 online.
