Cables To Go Port Authority USB to DB9 Serial AdapterWeakness: Did not work for my application I purchased the generic version of this item to connect the serial computer interface port of an APC Back-UPS Pro UPS to my PC. Unfortunately, when so connected, the adapter causes the UPS to shut down a few seconds after the PC is powered on. 71% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Jan 12, 2005 The port on an APC UPS is *NOT* a standard serial port. connecting ANY standard serial cable will cause the UPS to restart.

Apr 2, 2005 That is correct, an APC UPS does not have a standard serial port connection, so you can't use this item. Buyer probably was not aware of this.

usb to serial cableStrengths: price Weakness: no signed vista 64 drivers this product does not have "signed" vista 64 bit drivers. Vista 64 requires "signed" drivers. If you have all of the latest updates for vista loaded there is a work around; while booting press F8 and select "disable driver signature enforcement"; now the cable will work but you have to do this at each boot up.

Good Service
Strengths: Fast Delivery & Low Price
Weakness: None
Purchased this adapter cable was a piece of cake. Price was the best of all. 5 days later and I received the product. My Gateway laptop has 4 USB PORTS and no RS232 PORTS therefore this product was a useful for me.
