Ricardo,

No personal experience w/ any Gigaware USB to serial devices, but I’ve used many others that work properly with the right drivers….  
Some easier to set up than others.

This seems like it is really an OS X (unless you are using a _really_ old Mac) question.

I’d suggest a bit of rummaging around on the web.   You’ll probably have to be more specific about version of OS X you are using, but

google on "Gigaware USB to serial cable osx” turns up plenty of interesting info, Including the clue that (at least some) Gigaware USB to serial devices use Prolific chipsets.

I did purchase a Gigaware USB to serial converter cable from Radio Shack
as I recall.   Loaded the drivers that came on the CD with the
purchase.  Spent several hours over several days trying to get the thing
to work.  It would almost work but gave me errors or didn't work at all.
    Finally threw the entire thing in the trash and uninstalled the
drivers.

Purchased a USB to serial cable from R T Systems.  All issues were
resolved and every thing works as it should.
