Hello all, great community you have here!

I will soon be the lucky owner of a pre-owned Voyage, which the owner tells me has never been jailbroken, and which is running 5.7.4.

Initially disheartened that a software jailbreak is not currently an option for me, I have decided to take the plunge and attempt the serial jailbreak method helpfully described by grant2.

I am based in UK, and I am trying to source a suitably priced USB Serial Converter board.
(I have a soldering iron, but the less delicately I am required to use it the better, so a board with cables pre-attached - which I can use in conjunction with the pin method - appeals to me)
Would someone take a moment confirm for me whether this one is up to task?
And if not, perhaps suggest a UK alternative, preferably for less than £20?

'USB-TTL serial cable, 1.8V/100mA output'
