Does the dongle on the cable come apart easily? The simplest thing to do is
take it apart, note the number written on the biggest chip inside, then
Google for that number. It seems that these cables can have a range of
USB-serial chips inside which aren't obvious from the packaging (and the CD
supplied might have drivers for all of them).

FWIW I have an unbranded 'Siemens' DCA-510 cable bearing an MS3303H, and these
also use a PL2303. Your cable might have the same chips in, or different.

Otherwise you can try plugging it into Windows and finding out the Vendor ID
(vid) and Product ID (pid) of the chip - Control Panel->System->Device
Manager usually, find it and go Properties. Maybe it's listed here:

(click 'Search' to look for your vid/pid pair)
