Review: Great product and value for money - Usually I tend not to trust converters for this price. But as this was for my workplace and with all the previous reviews I decided to bite the bullet and get 2. In fact these did not disappoint. They are absolutely brilliant for the price and using them for a month they have been working flawlessly. I used it with Windows 7 (both 32 and 64bit) PCs we have in store and it was recognized and worked as soon as I plugged it in. It also comes with the Drivers CD should it have issues. Build wise they are very sturdy. It is not noticable on the picture but there is a small LED light to indicate the Data coming through from the PC into our Receipt Printer which is handy. Overall, value for money and a very good product.
Review: Works well for Cisco Switch console connections - This is a Male connector (i.e the pins stick out) Wasn't clear on the product info page, but it's just what I need. I bought this to replace a cheap £3 cable I bought on Eay, which of course has never worked. Rubbish. First moral = buy cheap - buy twice This on the other hand works fine. Arrived within a few days, The XP/Vista/7 drivers are on a CD included. Installed the driver on my Win7 64 bit laptop, a message appeared to say the software may not have installed correctly but plugged it in and Windows ran through the Found New Hardware Wizard fine. I'm using it to connect to a Cisco Catalyst 2950 switch. Using Putty, you'll need to set it to "Serial", 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and XON/Off flow control I have only tested that I can bash commands into the switch. I've not tested upgrading its IOS so can't vouch for speed, but the packaging claims that it can handle 230 Kbps transfer rate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it work with win 8.1?**
A: Cannot give an exact answer, as I only run Win XP Win 7.  However, it is a fully specified USB 2 adapter, so as long as your PC has at least one USB 2 port, I can see no reason why it should be a problem.

**Q: What is the gender of the rs232 end? Male or Female? I cannot tell from the picture.**
A: Both ends are female.

**Q: how can I get the adaptor to work with windows 8?**
A: Using Windows 8.1 Pro the device auto installed and presented as COM4: ATEN USB to Serial Bridge (COM4). Testing connecting to an Alpha server running VMS and it was fine. I did this a few times and sometimes it installed as COM4 and others, COM3. Using the excellent, and free, Tera Term as my choice of terminal emulator.

**Q: Anyone used with Windows 8 and a gender converter successfully ?**
A: Used with Windows 8.1 for about 10 months now, mainly for Cisco kit using blue Cisco DB9 - RJ45 cable no issues.
