USB To Serial Converter Cable Question

(1/7) > >>

Lance:
I have a USB to serial converter cable by some random company called Nosna. Has anyone ever used stuff by this company before? I'm extremely skeptical of this company, I can find very few references to them, and I've heard plenty of stories of nasty malware being packaged with the drivers from random chinese companies.

McMonster:
The question is what's the chip inside this converter? If it's a popular one, like FT232, then there shouldn't be problems.

Lance:
I can't tell, it's a sealed cable. Not sure how to get it open.

Lance:
Here's a link to the product, although it was purchased at a physical store:

Bored@Work:
Don't open it. Connect it and see what driver is loaded for it, or whats its USB descriptor contains (Windows: usbview; Linux: lsusb).
