I have the following one:

umct0 at uhub1 port 1
umct0: USB-RS232 Interface Converter USB Ver1.1 Device, rev 1.10/1.02, addr 5
ucom0 at umct0

port 1 addr 5: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB Ver1.1 Device(0x0230), USB-RS232 Interface Converter(0x0711), rev 1.02

usbdevs says that this is a Sitecom USB-232 Products.

But I can't talk to it. I only get a device timeout.

Neither minicom, nor cu nor tip works with it.

cu needs a long time to print the Connected. line, but doesn't work.
Minicom just says:
minicom: cannot open /dev/ttyU0: Operation not permitted
and then exists.

It works fine with on a coworkers linux machine.
