Great cable! Sep 10, 2009
By S. Golding I bought this to use with my Olympus digital 10-year-old dinosaur of a camera (it still takes superb pics) because the original cord wasn't long enough. This was exactly what I needed. The camera's original cord is a serial port, which this works with perfectly. It's basically an extension cord on my desk. The price is just great. I couldn't live without it.
Works Fine and Good Price May 19, 2012
By G. Linn I used to use DB series connectors quite a bit in the "old" days of computing. Now, everything is either wireless or USB. Currently, I'm trying to get a 20 year old computer back up and I needed an RS-232 interface using the DB-9 connectors like on this cable. I used to make my own cables but, for this price, it's not worth the time even if you already have the parts. There are always two important considerations when buying cables like this, the pinout and the gender of each end. The gender was fine. Pins 2 and 3 are the RX and TX lines on one end and must mate with the corresponding TX and RX, respectively, on the other end. Since there wasn't any wiring diagram, I didn't know how the cable was actually wired so I just took my chances. There are also other pins used for "handshaking", which I did not need. So, I don't know whether or not they were "wired" in this cable but I have to assume so. I could have simply "rung out" the cable, but I'm an old man and rigging cables means less time for doing things I really have to do. After I had hooked up one end to my PC, I used a scope to verify whether pin 2 or 3 was the TX line. It was correct for what I needed and communications between my PC and RS-232 simulator worked fine. I have purchased a number of things from "Cables to Go", mostly through Amazon, and have found them to be of high quality and very reasonably priced especially when you get free Amazon shipping if you have "Amazon Prime".

serial cable Dec 29, 2009
By Rene F. De Groof

The generic cable is fine but the serial to USB software I needed it for isn't recognized by my or a friends computer so I have a cable with no practical use.
