Quality Cable and Works
My Btech PC03 cable would not work after a Windows 11 update no matter what I tried, ordered this cable and it works great, no drivers installed or anything, it just worked.

BEST PROGRAMMING CABLE I HAVE!
This cable has replaced three of my Baofeng cables. It works with the newest radios, it replaces the CH304 needed for the DM32 and some of the early UV-5r radios. Replaces the early FTDI that doesn't always work. It works with all my Baofeng radios, regardless of age, that take the RCA plug. It lets you know when it it moving information by a blinking green light, and is flexible even though it has a thicker wire. Well made. My guess is that it will also work with my Wouxun radios with the same RCA jack. One of my Baofeng cables will work on the Wouxun radios. It is nice to have one that so far has done it all. Thank you.

Yes it worked for programming a BFuv5r with Win 11 out of the box.

It actually worked!
Most of these are very poorly designed and constructed with knock-off chips and are not reliable but this one worked perfectly on my Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. It doesn't work that well with USB3.x for some reason but USB2 is flawless. I just used a USB2 expansion hub plugged into the USB3 port on my computer. So, if you plug it into your USB3.x port and it doesn't work try a USB2 port or a hub that makes it look like a USB2 port. Something that I believe is common to all and is probably an issue with the radios is that it must be held FIRMLY in place while the computer is communicating or it will usually disconnect. I have several of the radios and all have had this issue with various programming cables.

No driver necessary
Worked perfectly with Windows11. No drivers were necessary. I just plugged it in and it worked with Chirp and other proprietary software.

Needed item with Windows 11
Works good, so far. After being forced to "upgrade" to Windows 11 (thanks, Microshaft - NOT) my programming cable didn't work anymore. After doing some research it seems that Mr. Gates and a chip company conspired to break the drivers. This cable uses an FTDI chip so you're not at thsir mercy.
