Drivers for usb to serial adapters

Actually took quite a lot of searching to even find the Brainboxes card since I needed one that supported both Windows 7, and Windows 7 I have had a lot of problems trying to get my EXFO fiber optic test equipment to communicate with my windows 7 laptop.

Exfo's technical guys have struggled to find a soloution. Thanks to Brainbox the problem is solved Many thanks. Great pricing through Newark, well designed and built products!!

Well I must admit to being sceptical, as we only ever found 1 [other] device that worked [reliably] and I had to leave that on a project and have never found another since. It appears on first testing that your USs work very well………….. Very pleased indeed!

Thank you. I am a big fan of Brainboxes. Tired of disconnects ordropping USB-to-Serial devices on other products with universal drivers! I find their products very reliable and their support team are very helpful. We tried [many other brands] and a few other USB to serial adapters. None of them worked!..

A serial adapter, also referred to as a serial converter is a small electronic device which can convert one type of data signal into a different type of data signal.

The difference between an adapter and a converter generally is that an adapter usually only adapts the physical interface of a device to match a different type of physical interface of a different device whereas a converter converts the actual data stream between two devices. Therefore we will use the term "converter" in the following. Even the RS standard is an older communication protocol it is still used by many modern devices in both business and consumer markets and is also often used for personal and office devices.

Actually many new devices designed today are designed with a RS serial port, often because RS is a very robust and reliable protocol which is fairly easy for program writes to integrate into their system. Serial converters are used a lot in industrial applications as a way to communicate with factory machinery or to interface with test equipment, however in one particular area the serial converter has also become very useful for consumers who need a serial port in their personal computer.

Most new computers today does not have a RS COM port which makes the use of a USB to serial converter useful for connecting equipment such as serial printers, scanners, scales and GPS devices, but also many types of business, office and laboratory equipment.
