From what the pictures showed. I had expectations that this would be a cheap cable. When I received it, it didn't feel like that. The cable felt strong and sturdy and the head which houses the main components is well sealed and doesn't feel like breaking any time soon. It seems like some thought has gone into the product as I can see that the pin cables are labeled too. Like someone said, although this is 5V VCC, it does not tell you on the cable and instead only on the manual. I think it's worth noting on the cable this, just in case you loose the box it came in. I would consider the flat cable more beneficial as it prevents the cable from being tangled up. The pins are separated, which I think is better as some boards place the pins in different locations and this removes the need to use an extension. The length of the individual pin cables are around 50mm long, which I think is the perfect length, allowing you reach the pins you need, without it being too long.I don't really want to repeat what the other review said, but I have to emphasize that the labelling is really useful especially since the red cable isn't normally what you'd expect it to be. I have used it once, and it has worked fine, however, it hasn't gotten much use right now so can't write a full review right now. If any problems arise, then I'll update this, but right now, I am happy with this product.TTL cables are versatile and can be used for debugging and programming. Reading outputs is a popular use for them. Occasionally you can have bootloader problems, and this can help identify them and potentially fix the problems before yo attach them to your PCB.(The cable arrived in a box, so you can be sure that the cable is safe.)

Qualcosa mi è andato storto nell'aggiornamento firmware del router Netgear WNR3500v2, in particolare volevo installare il firmware originale su uno custom, purtroppo alla fine dell'operazione il router non dava segni di vita ovvero si accendeva solo la spia "power" col colore arancione. A quel punto o lo buttavo o provavo di ripristinare il firmware in qualche modo. Per ripristinare il firmware originale o acquistato questo cavo seriale dotato già (in un dischetto allegato) del driver per Windows 10. Una volta riconosciuta la porta com è sufficiente seguire una procedura dettagliata passo passo disponibile online e il gioco è fatto ovvero il firmware è correttamente ripristinato e il router torna a svolgere il suo servizio. Consiglio l'acquisto in particolare agli smanettoni (come me), perché la procedura di ripristino è comunque piuttosto laboriosa.
