Just double checking here. The log messages below show the cable
connecting, and then disconnecting. Had you disconnected the cable
again before running dmesg, or did the cable fail?

The tty port is found when I plug it in:
$ dmesg | grep tty
[ 7527.188154] usb 1-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 7548.490452] pl2303 ttyUSB0: pl2303 converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
