The Bull Shoals Field Station operates a remote weather station in Kirbyville, MO for Missouri State University. I recently changed to a new laptop for data downloads which had no serial port to connect to the data logger. I ordered this cable adapter to join the data logger through a USB port to my new laptop. After installing the included software I was again up and running using the new laptop in place of the old. Great cable!

I bought the adapter to connect my weather station to the new PC running Windows 7.
The adapter driver (current version) was the apparent cause of frequent (daily+) Blue Screens of Death. Since the driver was uninstalled, no problems.
I also had USB port dropout. The adapter/driver is not necessarily the cause of this.
Best option is to install a serial port card. If you have to use a USB/Serial adapter, get one with an integral ferrite core. The ferrite core will reduce interference which might cause the USB port dropout.

Comments about CablesToGo 13" (0.33m) Port Authority USB Serial DB9 Adapter Cable (Blue):
I use a laptop to control my multimedia media presentations. I got a newer laptop and it did not have the serial port connection on it. I needed a quick and simple solution and the USB to Serial DB9 Adapter fit the bill. Have used it several times since I got it a few weeks ago.

This product performed without a hitch. It is used between an RS-232 cable and a computer s USB port.

Comments about CablesToGo 13" (0.33m) Port Authority USB Serial DB9 Adapter Cable (Blue):
This is a great solution for systems without a serial port or if you need an extra. I use this to connect to my Cisco device consoles.
Well built to withstand my abuse of tossing it around and in the bottom of my backpack and it works like a champ. Easy to install, easy to use!
