That's the newer version of the on I used for my IT Network Admin degree in college a few years ago.

The one I actually used is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007OWNYA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The first one I listed uses a slightly newer version of the Prolific PL2303 chip which does the conversion. The newer chip is useful for Windows 8/10 compatibility without losing it on older OSes. Also didn't have to install drivers to use it that I can recall and I use mine at work, mostly on my Carbon X1 w/Win 10 on a regular basis.

I wouldn't rely on USB-to-DB9 for a 24/7 connection, had too many drop out (due to USB, even with power saving disabled). But that being said, the ones I linked should do what you need. :)
