Working. And support

Not working...

Great product works well

The Diablo cable performs, wraps and packs into suitcases just as nicely as my  Cisco Console Cable RJ45-to-DB9  cables but for half the price and it's impossible to discern a performance or compatibility difference.Recently though, I shed a few pounds by finally  IBM THINKPAD 600X  laptop by adopting USB/RS-232 serial converters. The  TRENDnet USB to RS-232 Serial Converter TU-S9 (White) and Prolific  Plugable USB to RS-232 DB9 Serial Adapter (Prolific PL2303HX Chipset)  perform nicely and perfectly with this cable.The Diablo cable flexes without cracking or breaking and has never hiccuped or caused an issue that didn't already exist and occurred with an OEM Cisco or Hewlett Packard con cable.I suspect Diablo might make Cisco's cables or they both buy their con cables from the same manufacturer.If I need Cialis length, I'll double my stretch with  Diablo Cable DB9 Female to RJ45 Female Console Adapter for Cisco CAB-9AS-FDTE  and another console cable if their con port has enough voltage for the extended length (Console cable lengths are officially constrained by the bps speed and 9,600 baud is supported to 15ft. Most devices manufactured in the last 20 years that I've seen will reach double that but don't be surprised if doubling your cable doesn't work or behaves unexpectedly.If you have rare occasions requiring a chasm of distance between you and the con port, I can affirm that using a decent USB booster cable, to the USB adapter to Con cable works on every single rare occasion since the console cable stays within supported length but the USB cable is the bull whip bridge.( PC --> USB 2.0 Active Extension / Repeater Cable A Male to A Female, 10 Meters (32.8FT) -->  Plugable USB to RS-232 DB9 Serial Adapter (Prolific PL2303HX Chipset) PL-2303 -->(item being sold) Diablo Console Cable -->Console port 9,600,8,N,1Do that enough times and you won't need a radio to talk to aliens on other planets.I'm late to the game by embracing USB/RS-232 but I also support legacy climate control and fire suppression systems that are so old the manufacturers no longer exist like Bendix and being blamed for frying their elderly control board just because they noticed I'm using USB instead of an old Serial port isn't an accusation I can easily dispel when they're clearly too stubborn to upgrade and could be eager to blame anyone into providing a "damage replacement".I was honestly afraid to use anything but old fashioned 2400 bps Serial on those old systems because I wasn't sure if a USB adapter could actually damage a board made in the late 80's.

Excellent product

$1.00 with free shipping? I was of course skeptical, since Amazon shared that I previously bought a similar item for ~$7.00/each This time I wasn't in a hurry and it ended up only taking 5 days for the shipper to get them to me. So, high marks from me for that. No issues with using them, I plugged them into two (2) different Cisco devices in my home lab, a ASA 5505 and a 3750 switch and had full connectivity. To be honest, had these not worked...I'm only out 2 bucks for 2 cables. But they did work...I should have bought a few extra....yea right, its $1 with free shipping, I can do that now.

Product received on time. Product looks as advertised and work great. Will definitely buy from the same retailer.
