Just be sure the jack screws are what you want
I have the same problem as others where the female jack screws interfere with female jack screws on my mating bulkhead connector. Since they are not screwed in, but peened in place and completely over-molded, I cannot remove them without destroying the housing. So this is just a warning to be sure that the mechanical configuration is exactly what you need or at least something that you can adapt to. Everything else is good. The Windows driver installs fine on Windows 10 and the cable is high quality.

Adapter Cable worked great on W8!
Needed this adapter cable to connect my Laptop running W8 to a Kantronics KPC-3 Plus TNC. Since the adapter cable D25 Connector comes with lugs, had to remove the lugs on the back of the TNC before I could install.

Worked as advertised
I recently upgraded from Window XP to Windows 7 needed to configure a Cisco switch. My old Belkin adapter didn't work. Drivers were no longer supported. I did a Google search and found CablesToGo. I just installed the software and connected the adapter and everything started working.Very pleased.

Simple and effective
The cable was used to connect an 8-port gauge input box to a small cpu which only had USB ports.
The cable hardware driver is easy to load,and takes only a few seconds to setup on the computer. The cable connected our hardware to CPU without a flaw.
The only issue we had with the cable was the threaded tabs on the RS-232 side had to be cut off to allow room to plug into the hardware. Easily taken care of though.

Works well for CNC DNC
Works well once you know the quirks.
Any usb memory drives in use causes the pc to reassign the COM port number. Requiring a software setting to be changed.
Got to reboot the pc if auto shutdown occurs, otherwise pc won't load driver.
Need to add 96 bytes minimum at end of file, after %, to ensure that the buffer empties into CNC.
Far more reliable than the old 9 pin com ports.

All talk, no action
I purchased this to allow connection of a RS232 device to a USB port on my computer. The software did not work and the connection did not link. I am not sure if there is a hardware issue as well as this type of device usually has an onboard chip for configuration. Regardless, the cable combo did not work.

Perfect for the job!
A perfect interface between my IC-786 Amateur Radio Transceiver, the IC-CV17 level converter, and my PC. Installs easily and works the first time. I highly recommend for this purpose

Worked right out of the box
I unpacked it, connected it to my Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop left side USB port, let Windows do its thing and then connected the DB25 end to a Sun Microrystems Ultra 10 with a DB25 serial port board... tested with putty and hyperterminal on the Dell laptop and tip on the Sun system. Worked fine for this simple connection.

Works well after modification
I bought this cable to go between a Kantronics 3 Plus TNC and my laptop. The D25 end of the cable has lugs that have to be wrestled off before it will fit on the TNC. It was not easy. It would be helpful if the lugs were made to be removed more easily.

Works as Advertised
Used this cable as a communication bridge from my SMDR port on our Nortel Phone equipment to our Network Server for phone auditing/report generating capabilities. The cable works as advertised.
I had an issue with the DB25-side securing screws - they prevented me from securing the DB25 side down into the SMDR port so I used a hacksaw and sawed them off to make the interface bezel flush and allow it to seat properly.
This is in no-way a negative aspect of the product as I am using this cable to fulfill a purpose slightly outside of its original scope.

Shipped on time, worked fine.
No cons. Wish list would include having software configure to given com ports, instead of through Windows (Admin permission problem on windows vs. software setups.) Still product did exactly as it was advertised, and my small COM port problem is fixed!
