It actually has a real, legit ftdi chip in it and two db-9's. I can connect to a server and a switch, or two switches, etc....

I'd second the Keyspan adapter.  I've used them for several years. At least get an adapter with the "blinking lights".
It makes troubleshooting easier.  I prefer the 3 piece approach: Usb ->> Serial, Straight thru cable and a null
