«Excellent addition to your travel kit»
True story: I was a passenger in a car on a lengthy expressway trip zipping along at . . . well, it wasn't 55. I was trying to work on a deadline project using my laptop and absolutely, positively needed to get online to fetch some information from the web. No problem thought I: I'll use my cell phone as a modem. I reached into my travel bag for my cell phone's USB cable and - yep, I had left it at home. (Bluetooth wasn't working.)
For a moment I sort of panicked, thinking we would have to take time to connect at a truck stop. Then I remembered this handy little kit was tucked away in my bag.
A few seconds later, I had put the needed cable together and was online.
There are many kits like this on the market. I suspect that there are only one, two or a very few companies that make the fittings and they assemble the kits to the specificationas of their customers like Cables To Go, Belkin and others.
This Cables To Go kit is more fully featured than any other I've seen so far. It not only has every relatively common USB connector, it also has 6-pin and 4-pin Firewire connectors, an RJ-11 (telephone jack) cable, another for RJ-45 (CAT5 network), a mouse suitable for short-term use, a 4-port USB hub and a surpisingly useful RJ-45 crossover cable (which can come in very handy when you need to move massive amounts of data from one computer to another).
Overall, this is a great value. It is not something that you're likely to use every day, but, let's say, when you're zipping down the highway and absolutely, positively need to hook up with your cell phone to get online and realize you forgot your specialty cable, you'll appreciate having this kit on hand.

«Great cable kit.»
This works really well if you travel or have a notebook you use at work and at home. It has everything. It is a great buy -- my husband is thrilled with it.
