Rated 3 out of 5 by from Just be sure the jack screws are what you want I have the same problem as others where the female jack screws interfere with female jack screws on my mating bulkhead connector. Since they are not screwed in, but peened in place and completely over-molded, I cannot remove them without destroying the housing. So this is just a warning to be sure that the mechanical configuration is exactly what you need or at least something that you can adapt to. Everything else is good. The Windows driver installs fine on Windows 10 and the cable is high quality.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works well after modification I bought this cable to go between a Kantronics 3 Plus TNC and my laptop. The D25 end of the cable has lugs that have to be wrestled off before it will fit on the TNC. It was not easy. It would be helpful if the lugs were made to be removed more easily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and effective The cable was used to connect an 8-port gauge input box to a small cpu which only had USB ports. The cable hardware driver is easy to load,and takes only a few seconds to setup on the computer. The cable connected our hardware to CPU without a flaw. The only issue we had with the cable was the threaded tabs on the RS-232 side had to be cut off to allow room to plug into the hardware. Easily taken care of though.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works well for CNC DNC Works well once you know the quirks. Any usb memory drives in use causes the pc to reassign the COM port number. Requiring a software setting to be changed. Got to reboot the pc if auto shutdown occurs, otherwise pc won't load driver. Need to add 96 bytes minimum at end of file, after %, to ensure that the buffer empties into CNC. Far more reliable than the old 9 pin com ports.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Worked right out of the box I unpacked it, connected it to my Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop left side USB port, let Windows do its thing and then connected the DB25 end to a Sun Microrystems Ultra 10 with a DB25 serial port board... tested with putty and hyperterminal on the Dell laptop and tip on the Sun system. Worked fine for this simple connection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked as advertised I recently upgraded from Window XP to Windows 7 needed to configure a Cisco switch. My old Belkin adapter didn't work. Drivers were no longer supported. I did a Google search and found CablesToGo. I just installed the software and connected the adapter and everything started working.Very pleased.

Questions & Answers

Will this cable work with an HP 7475A Pen Plotter and how is the USB port set up as a printer/plotter port?

Asked by: TimM
We can not answer if specific printers will work. The Chip-set in the device activates the USB PRINTER SUPPORT Driver on the PC.

I have a Kantronics 3 plus and a Dell laptop running Windows11. Will this cable successfully connect the two?

Asked by: George
it should. However with the Windows 11 you may have to update the drivers for the Chipset from the Prolific website. It uses the PL-2303GC chipset

Will this work with a HP Design Jet 430 Large-Format Printer? I need a 25 pin male serial interface cable for this printer that will hook up to USB. Bought this at an auction and it didn't come with the cables....I know I can connect with a standard cable, but need USB connection, if at all possible.
Asked by: Debbiedoo
It appears that HP Design Jet 430 printer requires a null modem cable. So if you have 22429, you would need a DB25 M/F null modem adapter (#02469) or a null modem cable (#03029) to make the proper connection to that printer.
