The USB to RS232 converter is easy to install and offers broad operating system compatibility, including Windows® 8 and later, Linux and Mac OS®, for easy integration into mixed environments. Backed by a StarTech.com 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support. Connects any serial device with a DB9 female port to your computer USB port. Supports all RS232 serial devices such as printers, modems, barcode scanner, PDA, and digital cameras. It provides speed of up to 12Mbps and full duplex capabilities. When 2 or more UR-2000M2 are used, Windows will dynamically assign available COM RS232 port. Also, as of Mac OS X 10.9, Apple began shipping their own FTDI driver. So, if you're using a USB-serial adapter that uses the FTDI chipset (many of the higher-end adapters do), you don't need to worry about installing drivers and can use the built-in screen command in the Terminal to access serial ports.
