Unitek BF-810Y 1.5M USB to Serial Adapter DB9 RS232 Cable (Y-105) Windows 10 compatible.

What can I say? It does its job as a USB to Serial adapter. Letting me do the serial things I need to do talking to my Linux and Windows machines and embedded server (Combined with a simple NULL modem adapter). Windows 10 was a little weird, I had to jump around a bit but managed to get a driver from Prolific Technology's website as Windows built in driver didn't seem to like it very much.

The only con I can think off that wouldn't apply to most people is the lack of LEDs (As far as I can tell) indicating any sort of activity. So its a bit hard to diagnose issues without an extra inline diagnostics adapter.

Overall though very happy, Will definitely get a few of these if I ever need more in the future.

Don't ask me why, but I needed to use this driver (PL2303 Prolific Windows v1.20.0 Driver)

Neither the newest Prolific (4.0.1), nor the Unitek driver worked for me. Don't ask me why, but I needed to use this driver (PL2303 Prolific Windows v1.20.0 Driver)

Works well. Very handy just in case the computer has no RS232 terminal. Works well. Very handy just in case the computer has no RS232 terminal.
