Works out of the box on macOS
I bought this to connect to a Protectli Vault running OPNsense from a MacBook Pro and it works fine. It was immediately detected on macOS without having to install any drivers. Once the serial port was enabled on the OPNsense end it connected to the console with no problem at all.

Great USB-C to Serial Cable
Works with every device that I have had to serial into. Extreme, Forinet, Cisco, Juniper. With no driver issues

Fit for purpose connectivity
Cable enabled good connectivity to undertake configuration tasks on a TP link managed switch from a pc.I checked the cable parity, polarity and signal continuity with an industry analysis meter. Which returned a pass.Connector quality appear of a good standard with each terminator housed in a moulded shroud to provide resilience during regular use.I would only add the ‘obvious’ -Users advised to familiarise themselves with the process to establish a link between devices.One common mistake, is to leave resident eth plugs jacked in to the switch whilst trying to connect. The interface needs to be empty for the comms link to establish.Others will have different views.

Poor construction. USB-C connector breaks easily
The USB-C connector is not properly attached to the body of the cable and it will flex under it's own weight when the laptop it is connected to moves. This causes it to disconnect in use and, after a few times, break completely. Avoid this product - there are better console cables out there.
