I have had very good results with the Sabrent brand. Be sure you buy the FTDI
chips as Sabrent makes both. I buy mine from Amazon.

I’ve been using a Keyspan USA-19HS for years in my station. It does a great
job, has been totally reliable with absolutely no problems.
It’s now a TrippLite product, available now from Amazon for $23.95

Hope this helps.
