I want to preface this with a bold statement.... I have just about every configuration of RS232 cables and adapters known to man and I have them in duplicate x 10.
This morning the wife says.. "Gee, this is odd. This month you didn't buy a single China - Ebay item". That got me to thinking. Since PC RS232 ports have become as rare as Hen's teeth we all have become very comfortable with USB/RS232 converter dongles. They're fine for what they're intended for but if you're hooking up a Null Modem link it requires two USB/RS232 dongles with a F/F Null Modem (crossover) adapter connecting the two dongles. I thought why not buy a nice compact USB_Serial_Serial_USB Null Modem cable? I figured China must have packaged this by now.
Unless my search terms suck it doesn't exist. Yes, I realize that if each USB end is going to be plugged into the same PC each USB jack would have to assign a different ComPort# for each USB port.
I think my description is clear enough but if a drawing of what I'm looking for is needed I'll draw it.
