You are not going to find such an animal.
The devices you see are not simply plugs with wires; they contain
electronics that are driven by drivers on the host computer that provide a
"virtual" serial port that is mimicked by those electronics.
To do the reverse ... plug a USB device into a serial port ... is simply
not feasible as there is no established way to make electronics and device
driver support to create a virtual USB hub.
