StarTech - ICUSB232PRO - 1 ft USB to RS232 Serial DB9 Adapter Cable with COM Retention

This innovative USB to Serial adapter offers a professional grade solution for connecting legacy or industrial RS232 serial devices to a laptop or desktop computer through USB - eliminating the expense of upgrading serial peripherals for compatibility.

A versatile connectivity solution that bridges legacy serial peripheral devices with newer USB-capable computers, the USB to Serial adapter is compatible with Win98/2000/XP/Vista and MAC OS 10.4+ operating systems, and is backed by StarTech.com's 1-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
