Excellent cable, 4 single pin connectors at the end. There is absolutely no documentation included, just a cable. 1 star off for that. Should have at least had a slip of paper to send you to their website for drivers.
As to connections, the Black wire seems to reliably be ground and the Red +5v, in my case the White and Green were 3.3v RX and TX respectively but they seem to vary as to which is which.
I was able to determine this by easily snapping apart the blue usb plug cover with a thumbnail or screwdriver to see what color wire was connected to what pinout on the chip circuit board. Also, if you are handy with a soldering iron you could easily move the 5v red wire to the unused 3.3v power pinout should you need 3.3v power.
I used this cable as is to TFTP recover a bricked WNR3500Lv2 router I had flashed with the wrong firmware. The single pin connectors were easy to use. I connected pin 6 of the router to ground, Pin 5 to RX and Pin 2 to TX. No need to connect the red power wire. The rest of the procedure took some patience, but the cable worked like a charm.
Note that the cable has OSX, Linux and Windows drivers you can download from the Prolific 2303 website. The cable showed up in my mac as /dev/usbserial.
