What buyers say about the DeStatiX-A9

Reviews left on our Amazon listing, reproduced as written. The listing carries the full and current set, including any that read less well than these two.

★★★★★

Solid adapter, with a rarely-seen bonus

“However, this model has a seldom-seen feature that is a great aid, namely, the LED indicators built-in to the cable that give a comprehensive view of the status of all 9 data lines. But just having visual status of when the cable is sending or receiving data is a real time-saver when bringing up a connection. The full picture of the connection's status is easily seen at-a-glance.”

“Other than the LEDs, this is a quality USB-to-serial adapter. I was especially happy to see that it is powered by an FTDI chipset, long regarded as the gold standard for this class of device.”

“The cable is physically well-constructed, and I expect it to serve my needs for many years to come.”

Great product

“Works flawlessly on Fedora Linux to connect a serial Insteon PLM to usb port. The LEDs came in handy to troubleshoot a non responsive controller, as I was able to verify that the PLM was indeed sending data when commanded to do so.”

How these are reproduced

  • Quoted as written. Text left out is replaced with an ellipsis; no sentence is reworded and nothing is added.
  • The Vine badge travels with its quote. A reviewer who received the product free is a material connection, and we disclose it beside the endorsement rather than only in a footer.
  • Amazon requires signing in to an Amazon account before its review pages can be viewed, so we do not link to them. The reviews are also displayed on the listing itself.
  • No rating markup is published for these quotes. They were not collected on this site.
