A: This product is compatible with both straight through and NULL modem cables.

A: Hello,

Yes it does, we also offer the drivers and guide on our website.

**Q: Does this support the rs232 control lines?**
A: +Our software does not use the RTS/CTS/etc functions so I don't know. Since it does have status indicators (something we look for so you can be sure it is being talked to) which include DTR, DCD, RI, CTS, RTS & DSR I would presume it does.

**Q: will this work for gerber plotters?  i have a gerber gs15 it came with a 25 pin db to 9 pin serial rs232 cable, as my laptop only has usb ports.**
A: This has a DB9 male connector on it.
