12 IN STOCK
This USB cable adds a DB9 serial port to your computer or laptop. Works with MacOS X, Linux and Windows. Comes with a handy 1m USB extender cable, or you can just plug it straight in. Note that this provides +-12V serial (RS232) not 5V serial (TTL)

These are tested and work great with bit-bang serial devises MiniPOVs, DASA programmers and Serial SpokePOV adapters - note that they are slow in comparison to hardware serial ports due to the high overhead of USB.

They are super fast for every day USB-Serial conversion. Uses the PL2303 chipset. Comes with a CD but I strongly suggest using the most recent drivers from the Prolific Website if you're running windows and the 'fixed' driver for Mac OSX.
