Serial to usb help

by TS7424 Mar 7, 2009 11:42AM PST

I have a JVC GR-SXM920U camcorder that has a 2.5mm plug to serial for downloading pictures (built in memory no card)- problem is my computer does not have a serial port only USB ports.
How do I connect the serial to usb?
Is there a 2.5mm 3 contact plug to USB cord I can use?

Here are the USB to RS232 units I own and use at least weekly.

I also have a Cables To Go unit but suggest you look at the Keyspan unit like this one -> http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5934005
