Is DKU-5 a serial cable?

For anybody familiar with the connectivity cable, DKU-5, is it a
serial port or a USB port? In one of the download pages on the Nokia
website, DKU-2 is listed as a USB cable while DKU-5 is a serial cable.
However, after downloading the DKU-5 driver (i have a generic serial
cable for my 3100), everything in the installer says it is a USB port
driver.

DKU-5 is a serial cable that plugs into a USB port. In other words it
emulates a serial cable but using a USB port. The DKU-2 is a true USB cable
into a USB port.
Hope that makes sense, to me a while to find out this info

yep, as god says dku-5 is a serail cable that plugs into your usb
port.

as god said, the dku-5 emulate a RS-232 port connection at your PC. and make
your nokia pcsuite recongize it.

the protocol dku-5 using is actually designed for serial port, but they use
usb to achieve faster transmission rate. please notice there are many serial
port or usb cables claiming they are dku-5 compatible, esp ebay.

DKU-5 has special protocol, not f-bus, not m-bus, but dku-5. If you want to
use nokia pcsutie, u should buy one support dku-5 protocol. let me have an
advertisement, take a look at our site http://www.vavolo.com you will find
compatible nokia usb data cable support nokia pcsuite.
