USB-C to DB9 Cable

Use this to connect a Pinewood Derby timing gate (FastTrack) to a MacBook. Has been working well and provided no issues for me. Length was good, and didn't have any issues with Grand Prix Race Manager software connecting to it. It replaced a series of connectors to convert serial to USB-A.

Works great

I had problems with my old adapter when I upgraded to windows 11. I never could find a working driver for it. I bought this in hopes that it would solve that problem, and it did. It worked out of the box, no configuration or driver download needed. It seems nice quality, with removable covers on both ends, and the cable is nice and flexible. Best of all, it was just plug and play.

Ran out of the box no driver issues. It just worked. Cord is high quality too. What's not to like?

Windows 11 PC with only USB-C ports? This serial-to-USB converter is plug-and-play, it couldn't be easier! Plug in, wait a few seconds for the Windows audible "I'm ready" beep, and you are ready to go!

This RS232 to USB C cable arrived today and does not connect or work with my MACBook Pro running Sonoma. I went to the website and it only includes information for Windows even though it says it will run on a MAC. I have tried looking in the AppStore for drivers and found nothing for FTDI. Their site has drives but there is no mention of anything for a MAC. This is totally not what is advertised and doesn't function as a data cable for my needs of connecting it to an INNOVA ScanTool CanODB2.

Bought these to connect into some Cisco Gear. attached this to my windows laptop, Win 10 automatically installed device driver. connected it to a Db9-RJ45 console cable, was able to program Catalyst 9300.

This worked well to use the USB C port on my computer to connect to a standard RS-232 device. It just worked, no driver installation required. BUT -> The USB C connector is made from very soft plastic which does not provide any mechanical support to the metal "tab" that plugs into the computer. I cannot see that this cable is going to hold up to any kind of use. Not reliability related, but the thumbscrews on the DE-9 connector are miserable to use unless you use a screwdriver. These should be longer so that the thumb and forefinger can turn them. I would strongly suggest that if you are looking for a USB C to RS232 adapter you first check out another brand. I'm going to try and reinforce this connector with epoxy - which is something I should not have to do. UPDATE: While giving some thought on how to stiffen the USB C connector housing, I had an idea. I will order a short USB C extension cable. I plug this Oikwan with the flimsy connector into the extension, stiffen the connector pair with a paperclip, and wrap it in electrical tape. This will significantly increase the reliability of this product.

It was not working at first. The drivers installed and it didn't work. Did not work for over 24 hours. Now it works. The machine did not restart. I really don't care as long as it continues to work.

Macbook Air M2（Sequoia）で、問題なく利用できました。 ドライバーのインストールなど、特に必要としませんでした。 ありがたい。

La description de ce produit est plutôt mensongère. Présenté comme fonctionnant sans pilote, il faut pourtant en installer un. Sur le site du fabriquant, les pilotes sont anciens et ne fonctionnent pas avec les versions récentes de Windows 11. Ne fonctionne pas non plus avec Windows 10 sous Virtual Box ni Windows 11 sous Parallels Desktop.

Used these on a Mac running a Virtual Windows 11 machine (Arm version). They work perfectly. No need to add extra drivers.

Cable works well connects and didnt need to download drivers when using with samsung tablet
