What is Reddit's opinion of Cables4computer C4C-USB-2920 FTDI Chipset High Speed USB 2.0 to Serial RS-232 DB-9 Converter?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

That din-1/8th cable isn't a programming cable it's for running echolink/VOIP. You still need the din to DB-9 cable for programming. Before I got my Toughbook I was using a cheap USB converter to program my D710 using Chirp. Just make sure you get a good one. I got this one. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005S72HHO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've used several PL2302 and always has Blue Screen of Death on Windows.

This is what I have, works natively under Linux and no issues on Windows ever. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005S72HHO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm looking to autoguide an iOptron mount and want to make sure I have all the things I would need in order to do that. Could someone double check my list here?

• I'm going to pick up the Orion magnificent mini auto guider package (50 mm guide scope, Orion SSAG camera, etc included)
• I have a portable 13" laptop with a nice battery life (~8 hours) and 3 USB ports
• iOptron RS232-RJ9 cable
• Serial to USB converter

Do I need anything else? Any suggestions on the things I have listed?

I think you can use a common usb to RS232 [DB9] adapter and make your own RJ45 to DB9 like the correct one from here with the length you require...

just make sure you are using the correct RJ45 to serial wiring as I found many combinations, but it seems the common ones are in the previous link...
