it is very easy to tell (not before you buy it but after you get it)

if it works fine with a 2015 ver driver the prolitic is genuine.

if it only works with version 3.2.0.0 you got yourself a knock off clone.

rule of thumb: if the cable cost is 2-5usd it is probably a knock of

if it costs 15-20usd there is a chance for a genuine prolitic.

a work around is building your own cable with a chip board that cost less than a dollar on aliexpress

It really is hard to tell though. Unless it is an OEM cable from one of the top tier manufacturers or a FTDI based cable you run the risk of getting a cloned prolific. It's not the end of the world though. The knocks off work fine with the old driver as mentioned.

You can use the knock off with driver ver 3,2,0,0

How can I tell if I have a Chinese knockoff of the prolific cable and if I have the knock off where can I find a genuine prolific cable? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
