Windows 7 - 11 offers native driver support, with no installation needed. Not compatible with ARM-based Windows (MS Surface).

Compatibility

Works with devices with RS-232 serial ports like: other PCs with RS-232 ports, Bluetooth serial adapters, PDAs, GPS receivers, routers, modems, printers, embedded character displays, scan tools, sonar units, embedded boards, etc. Works with software like: PuTTY, HyperTerminal, TeraTerm, WinDBG, all open source serial software on Linux, etc.

Connector compatibility note

The DB9 connector has attached male screw-lock connectors. For connecting to a device that also has attached male screw-lock connectors, an inexpensive DB9 Female/Female Mini Gender Changer (Coupler) will be needed.

Genuine

We use only genuine Prolific chips. There has been a problem with some USB serial adapters using clone chips not actually from Prolific. These adapters will not work with Prolific's latest drivers, thus won't have support on recent operating systems like Windows 7 - 11. Because we only use genuine Prolific chips, our adapter is always compatible with the latest drivers from Prolific.
