After trying (and failing) using a well-reviewed Keyspan converter that I've had for several years (with TI chip and Keyspan driver), I tried this Gearmo with the FTDI chip and have had excellent results on an Intel Mac Mini with MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave) with the stock FTDI driver that comes with MacOS. My application is using a remote serial console communicating with the getty daemon that MacOS also includes. I use RTS/CTS hardware handshaking at 19,200 baud and up, and haven't experienced any issues. The FTDI chip and the Apple driver appear to respect all the termios serial flags and commands used by the appropriate gettytab file entry (I had to modify my gettytab entry for the settings I used -- that takes a little work, but once you understand all the flags it's not bad). Finally, I like having the LEDs for the various serial lines. The Gearmo is a nice little product at a great price. Review: Plug and Play on MacOS Mojave - This USB-C to serial adaptor worked perfectly on my Mac OS Mojave. No drivers needed. Used the very basic but functional "screen" command from the terminal App and was able to console into various Cisco gear like a champ. Lights for the pins are nice feedback for the serial comms. Excellent tool. ## Features - USB 2.0 TO RS232 SERIAL - 5ft in length serial adapter.

No drivers needed. Used the very basic but functional "screen" command from the terminal App and was able to console into various Cisco gear like a champ. Lights for the pins are nice feedback for the serial comms. Excellent tool. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Seems well made *by L***E on February 17, 2026* I can’t rate this honestly because the serial device I want to use is dead and would not charge. However the instructions seemed incredibly complex and technical to me. I could not install the software. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gearmo USB-C 2.0 to Serial RS-232 Adapter w/LED Indicators - Gearmo USB to Serial RS-232 Adapter with LED Indicators, FTDI Chipset, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/, Mac OS X 10.6 and Above - DB9 null modem male to female slimline data transfer serial port adapter 2 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/43190706-gearmo-usb-c-to-rs232-serial-adapter-ftdi-chip-led](https://www.desertcart.no/products/43190706-gearmo-usb-c-to-rs232-serial-adapter-ftdi-chip-led) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
