DTECH 10 Feet USB to Serial Female Adapter Cable DB9 RS232 to USB 2.0 Cord

Bottom line: The DTECH 10 Feet USB to Serial Female Adapter Cable DB9 RS232 to USB 2.0: 10 ft cable reaches gear across a bench without a USB extension; main trade-off: PL2303 chip, not FTDI, so counterfeit-chip driver blocks can bite.
