USB TTL Level Serial UART Converter Console Cable for Aruba AP-207 AP-304/305 AP-314/315
Compatible with Aruba AP-CBL-SER
This cable is a USB to TTL level serial UART converter cables incorporating Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to Serial UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signalling and protocols.
It is designed for use with the Raspberry Pi (RPi), an ultra-low cost, Linux based miniaturised computer.
The debug cable sits on the Rx/Tx of the RPi ARM processor UART – which provides much more detail of what’s happening within the RPi operating system.
Connecting the debug cable to a PC and communicating with the RPi via a terminal emulator on a PC gives the user access to more detailed information from the Linux kernel during RPi start-up, which appears on the Rx/TX lines of the UART, as well as being able to login and access the kernel itself from the PC.

TL;DR: Fine enough. Does the trick for minimal usage, but if you're here for quality, look elsewhere.It works, transfers data and showed up for me in Windows 10/11 just fine. Was able to open a serial connection to several different devices without issue. It shows up in Device Manager as "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge". I didn't crack it open to see what chip it was actually running, but you probably don't care.My biggest complaint is that it feels very low quality. The USB plug has the RS232 UART brain built in, but plastic is super flimsy and the USB connection is *very* loose. It easily disconnects/reconnects in windows if you move the USB connector. That can be nerve racking if you're uploading firmware as the slightest bump might brick your device during important transfers. I'm only comfortable using it for a generic serial console connection and definitely won't be doing anything too important with it.I think there are better options available if you look around, but this one will work if you need it ASAP and just as a one-off solution. It's definitely not going to become a family heirloom to pass down to your children.

逆接したのかどうかわからないが、ケーブルのUSB-A端子側から焦げ臭いにおいがしてそれっきりデバイスマネージャから見えなくなった つらい

Device worked once to get into an AP, but when I moved the the second AP it stopped working. Tried multiple computers and access points. Would not detect in windows after the first time.

This is a nice and simple CP2102-based USB to serial adapter. I got this so I could connect to the serial debug port on my OrangePi. The one I received was in good condition, with the plastic molding solid around the internal PCB. I didn't have any issues with the USB plug being loose. The wiring on mine is as follows:Black: GroundWhite: TransmitGreen: ReceiveRed: +3.3VI tested it with only the TX, RX and GND lines connected. It works fine at normal baud rates like 115200. Unfortunately, it doesn't support very high baud rates like 1500000 (yes, 1.5 mbits), which is required to connect to the debug port of Rockchip devices like my OrangePi. Even if you set the baud rate correctly on your computer's terminal app, all you get is garbled characters. This isn't really the fault of this converter, as 1500000 is an unusually high baud rate for a serial connection. If you need to connect to one of these devices, a better option may be a CH340-based converter.So, the bottom line? It works and you'll be fine under normal circumstances. But if you're working with a Rockchip-based device, you might need to look elsewhere.
