Once you get the driver installed, windows sees it as COM3.
I have yet to succeed in connecting to my managed Gigabit switch with it though. Had to purchase a straight-thru gender changer (F-F) and a null modem cable. Still no success in communicating with the switch from Windows 10 using Putty. Driver comes on CD-ROM. Since my laptop does not have a CD-ROM, I had to search the web for the driver and download it.

This product works, but I ordered the wrong port. I needed DE-15. Oh well, I will find a use for it.

Good seller, item arrived in a timely manner as discribed .

I use this for programming Crestron products. Works nominally.

Using this to configure Cisco Routers and Switches from the console port. Works like a charm.

Use this with Cisco console cable to interface with Switches. have no issues.

Use it to connect PC to Cisco switch. Works great. Use minicom to setup switch, then ssh to remotely connect.

It works under OpenSuse 42.2 Linux with no issues and no add-on drivers.

Good quality cable and connectors should last for years.

I bought this cable, plugged it into my Lenovo Win10 laptop and it worked right out of the box.

The USB kept connecting and disconnecting in the first USB port that I tried so i moved the cable to a second port and it works fine. I'm not sure if I blame the port being a little worn or if it has to do with the USB version of that port. Great addition to my PC for the price.
