The PL2303 is a USB-to-serial converter chip manufactured by Prolific Technology Inc. Like the CP2102, it's used to provide serial communication capabilities to devices through a USB port. The PL2303 is also supported by several operating systems. Here are the main operating systems for which drivers are available for the PL2303:
- Windows XP/ Vista/7/8/8.1/10/11
- macOS X (10.3 and newer)
- Various distributions of Linux with USB support
- Android devices with USB host support
- Windows CE:
- Versions of Windows CE with USB support
- Versions of Windows Mobile with USB support
- Windows Embedded Compact:
Versions of Windows Embedded Compact with USB support
The PL2303 drivers allow the chip to be recognized as a virtual COM port on the respective operating systems. This enables software to communicate with the connected device using standard serial communication protocols.
As with any hardware, it's important to ensure you're using the correct and up-to-date drivers for your specific operating system. The availability of drivers and compatibility might vary based on the version of the operating system you're using. Always refer to the official Prolific Technology website or documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding driver support for the PL2303 on various operating systems.

connects two devices of the same type, for example DTE-DTE or DCE-DCE, usually connected asymmetrically (DTE-DCE), by a modified cable called a crosslink. Such a distinction between devices was introduced by IBM.The crossing of wires in a cable or in a connector adaptor allows:
* connecting two devices directly, output of one to input of the other,
* letting two terminal (DTE) devices communicate without an interconnecting hub knot, i.e. PCs,
* linking two or more hubs, switches or routers (DCE) together, possibly to work as one wider device.
