At that price you can't really go wrong. I notice that there are some around
with a wire between the RS-232 connector and the USB plug, that might be a
good idea because on occasion I have unintentionally pulled the cable and
bent the device.
Something that concerns me is if the device properly supports hardware
flow control. Some don't, and a no-name device doesn't give me much to go
on.
