I don't know about that. This is an actual Nokia cable not a no name brand. Some have reported a non Nokia cable not working properly. Guess I should have checked e-bay.

Make an offer if you're interested.

I purchased a propper USB TTL Cable with the correct plug on the other end for less than £10 ($15) and that needs nothing more to get it running, only Putty / Hyperterm.

I think the price is a little extortionate TBH.
