It is common to find these cables priced so low on eBay, Amazon, and other distributor sites. These are cheaper USB programming cables that use cloned chipsets from old Prolific cables - by using stolen intellectual property from an old Prolific chipset they try to keep their costs low, but those are not the only corners cut. Prolific offers complete USB to Serial/UART/RS232 and USB to Printer interface bridge solution for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android platform. Prolific provides perfect solution to connect your legacy peripherals and application to any USB host platform.
