With Win11 in particular, with the obsolescence of old drivers that are no longer being updated this product is recognized immediately by the OS. Moreover, it is isolated and is powered perfectly by USB.

I have been using the ATC-850 USB/RS485 converter for some years now and it has become an integral part of our geotechnical measurement systems.

Only one adjective: "fantastic"! Never a problem of interference between drivers of other devices, 99% of the times detected automatically by the PC and the very few times just enter the drivers manually and take them immediately. In essence, never a problem!!!!!!!!!!! It always works! Only note on the RS422: I was always used to have in line the A-B-Z-Y terminals instead here are in the order A-B-Y-Z but detected the first time is no longer wrong!
