Do Not Use U209-000-R USB Serial Converter – Robert Vinci – Harvard, MA
This device has caused me a lot of gnashing of teeth and anguish. Sadly the driver for XP is very unstable. After much use I discovered that the driver on the Trip Lite site for the Tripp Lite U209-000-R which is dated 7-16-2003 v2.0.0.18 will work for a period of time, in my case about 2 weeks in a data collection application. My observations showed memory usage slowly growing over this time until the BSOD. The blue screen shows a STOP message with the error occurring in ser2pl.sys. In a Windows 2000 system, I did not see this problem with the Windows 2000 driver which is dated 11/07/07 v2.0.0.21. Beware!

Tripp Lite U026-016 USB2.0 16-Feet Certified Active Extension Cable Review

Amazon e-mail to me and wants me out to this article. It works. I can fill in a USB plug-in-the-blank 16 m away from a port on my PC and USB 2.0-fill-in-the-blank actually works. Ummmm … OH! E 'silver in color, so that the chicks really dig it!
There you have it people. You work and you get all the attention of girls, because it is a light commercial beer. Buy two. I did it!

Tripp Lite U026-016 USB2.0 16-Feet Certified Active Extension Cable Overview
Tripp Lite’s 16-ft. USB Certified 2.0 active extension cable is a bus powered extension cable that can be used to increase the length of a device cable without the worry of signal loss and potential performance problems. USB limits a cable’s length to 16ft. any length above 16 feet requires the use of an active cable such as this one. This cable has a signal booster built in. The overall cable length can be extended up to 80ft by daisy chaining up to 5 of these active cables. The cable must be plugged directly into a USB port (either on the PC or a hub). Use a standard 6′ 10′ or 15′ USB cable to reach the desired distance.
