Reviews around interface (4.61 of 5)

  • The interface I had worked well with a PC using one of the COM
  • Even in the PC world an interface is necessary to talk to the radio via the serial port and there are no USB interface converters available that I could identify
  • I am using it with WinXP Service Pack 2, and it communicates great with a complex serial interface to an unusual piece of electronics I have, so its very compatible with "real" serial ports, unlike some other adapters I have tried that seem to only work with modems or PDA docks.
  • Our new Laptop doesn't have a serial port and the Modem doesn't have a USB connector so this adapter provides the proper interface and works flawlessly and the performance is what is required for this type of setup.
  • Works well as an interface in my amateur radio packet station.

Reviews around piece (1.00 of 5)

  • Overall bad experience, product seems WAY to overpriced for the cheap piece of garbage you get for it, I would pay 5 dollars for this and be happy
  • Works great to interface with a Swim meet timing console (Colorado CTS-6) that only supports a serial interface from a very picky piece of software called Meet Manager.
  • The Keyspan USA-19HS is the cheapest piece of control system communication hardware that I own, and it's probably the most-used
  • The device I wanted to connect is a barcode scanner - which is an expensive piece of equipment.
  • I am using it with WinXP Service Pack 2, and it communicates great with a complex serial interface to an unusual piece of electronics I have, so its very compatible with "real" serial ports, unlike some other adapters I have tried that seem to only work with modems or PDA docks.

Reviews around socket (1.00 of 5)

  • Since the adapters still work fine except for the USB port, I simply desoldered the cheap-o port from each of the new adapters and replaced it with an FCI port (FCI PN 61729-1011BLF -- 54 cents each)
  • Unfortunately, the cheaper USB socket doesn't retain the cable connector as well as the older ones did
  • Among the changes was a decision to use a cheaper USB socket
  • few cents that Tripp-Lite saved by using a cheaper socket isn't worth it
  • First off, the complaint about the faulty USB socket has been remedied
