USB Type C to RS232 DB9 Serial Port Adapter Cable, FTDI Chipset, Supports Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and Mac Linux

As an Industrial Automation Engineer, finding a reliable USB-C to serial adapter is a constant battle. A lot of the cheaper cables on the market use inferior chipsets that choke when trying to establish a clean handshake with older industrial hardware. This OIKWAN cable uses the genuine FTDI chipset, which is the absolute gold standard for reliability. I bought this specifically to communicate with some legacy Mitsubishi Electric gear that still requires a solid RS232 connection. It worked flawlessly out of the box for transferring both PLC and HMI programs on: Mitsubishi Electric FX2N PLC Mitsubishi Electric F940GOT HMI While I can’t personally guarantee it will work with every single legacy device ever made, the fact that it handled this specific Mitsubishi hardware without a single dropped packet or communication timeout is a massive win. If you work in industrial automation and your newer programming laptop only has USB-C ports, keeping one of these in your tool bag is a no-brainer. Highly recommended!

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 perfectly to connect a Lokprogrammer to a PC. Mac will require a driver to be installed, and then it works on Mac as well.

Works great

If I could give this 0 stars, I would. This was hooked up/plugged in less than 24 hours to an Epson TM-U295 Dot Matrix Slip Printer (other end in a Surface Pro tablet) in one of my propane delivery trucks. User reported it not working to me (IT dept). I went out there, and the cable was SMOKING!!! The entire cab of the truck reaked of electrical fire. Attached pictures are attached where you can see it was short-circuiting & smoking. Needless to say this could have been a DISASTER since it was as I said before, hooked up in a propane truck (with 2500 gallons of propane loaded in the back)

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.

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.

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
