Strengths: Provides a quick and easy solution if you need an extra 9-pin serial port
Summary: Setup of this cable is quick and easy. Worked flawlessly with WinXP after the \"Add new hardware\" dialogue searches the online Windows driver database. I can only assume that it would work as well with the included drivers. We've used these exact cables for years at work and the only downside other than cost is that they tend to break down after a few years of heavy use (stuffing them in laptop cases, getting them dirty, exposed to extreme temps, etc). Seems spendy, but they do work!
