Yes, it’s a quality control issue. I went through four or five different ones before giving up, even though reviewers have purchased them earlier and they worked. There is a common flaw that can be fixed with some solder, but it’s too tiny for me to even see. Seems to be a known issue. But an $8 USB-485 adapter is a lot cheaper than the Entec at $70 (which is not buffered or protected either!).
