Nicholas ★★★★★

Took my iOptron mount from frustrating to flawless in under five minutes. The USB 2.0 compatibility was exactly what I needed for my older laptop.

Aurora B. ★★★★★

The FTDI chipset made connecting my mount to my laptop completely painless — Windows 7 recognized it instantly without hunting for drivers. Works perfectly with USB 3.0 ports, which was my main concern.

Sophia M. ★★★★★

Plugged this into my iOptron mount and the FTDI chipset was recognized instantly by Windows 7 — no driver hunting needed. The cable length is just right for my setup, and it’s been rock solid during two imaging sessions so far.
