Digital camera reviews of Sabrent SBT-USC6M Hi-Speed USB 2.0 to Serial (9-pin) DB-9 RS-232 Adapter Cable (BLUE)
Digital camera Review: Cheapest way to get a 6ft cord that I've found
Summary: 5 Stars
We have purchased 3 of these and they have all worked great. Left one attached to the boat for months and still worked. Only draw back is that I tune motors on boats and there is no way to attach this cable to the ECU. Other than that it is equal to the $36 cables in every way.Digital camera Review: Drivers Out-of-Date for Windows Vista
Summary: 3 Stars
This product comes WITH NO DOCUMENTATION and has only a POORLY WRITTEN "READ ME" FILE on the disk (if you know how to access it). The disk has several DRIVER files shown in its 'directory', but doesn't help you choose which one to use. I tried them all individually for my application and NONE OF THEM WORKED.
This USB-Serial adapter cable may work fine for those with older computers NOT running under Windows Vista. But if you are operating under Windows Vista, it is unlikely you'll be able to use it unless you go to the following web site and download the driver file available there.
ADDED EDIT:
Amazon will not let you post a 'link' to another web site that sells anything..... so you will have to use a 'Google Search' and input "Sabrent Corporation, Ltd" to find it yourself (usually first listing), then find "cables" in the sidebar, and then the cable name/model you need a driver for, and then select as directed below.
Once you load this page, you'll have to click on the "GO TO DRIVERS" box to the upper right of the picture of the cable. For Windows Vista, pick the UPPER SELECTION. Download and SAVE to your Documents under a folder created for COMPUTER DOWNLOADS - that way you'll always have a 'safe copy' of it if need again later. Once downloaded, you can go to DOCUMENTS and double-click on that filename to install it on your computer. Windows Installer takes over from there - have your cable and associated device handy to plug into your USB port if/when Windows Installer might request it. Once I finally located the file after almost 1 day of trying to locate the[...] web site, everything fell into place and went quickly after that. I then used it to connect my "Equus 3160 Innova ABS + Professional CanOBD2 Diagnostic Code Scanner for OBDII Vehicles with Back-lit Screen and Enhanced Live Data" to my laptop computer to upload data and check for updates for it.
You may want to Bookmark the [...] web site in case you have other products made by Sabrent since they have a 'Support' and 'Driver' area for different devices they support.

Summary: 3 Stars
I'm sure this product works great for PCs, but if you are a mac user, don't buy! The software driver is not compatible with macs, and it gave my computer some issues so I had to uninstall it. And I was never able to get my serial device connected.
Instead, I would recommend buying a USB Serial Adaptor from Keyspan. They keep their drivers up to date. I bought the USA-19HS and once I installed the software and configured my system preferences it worked great. So that's what I would recommend if you're on a mac.
