[Elecraft] USB to RS232 cable or adapter

[Jack Berry]

I opted for an 8 port adapter. I paid more but I'll never run out of ports - I hope! I'm currently using 3 of the 8 but have used more with different equipment arrangements. I can assign any com port to any of the 8 RS232 ports as long as I don't duplicate. I also have a 4 port USB hub and can see a day coming when I'll have to move to a bigger hub - all 4 ports are in use including one to the RS232 hub.
 
God Bless & 73!

All;

I have this exact cable, I paid full price for it over a year ago. It is connected to my K3 and I use it with my XG3, TM-D710, D72 and a large collection of devices. It is a real FTDI chipset (dual UART) and there have been ZERO problems. This is not a Prolific clone.

At the listed price I will likely buy another.
