Very useful [Posted on 2008-09-18]
Not sure whether I'll every use some of the adapters, but overall the package is quality and compact. Great value.

Excellent addition to your travel kit [Posted on 2008-09-18]
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.

Handy Little Set [Posted on 2008-12-09]
Well worth the money. I carry this kit everywhere and use it often. Who knew you could adapt a USB cable to connect to Ethernet?!?

I may pick up a few more as Christmas gifts.

Everyone in IT support should have one of these!
Everyone else - It's OK for you to own this kit also:)
This kit replaced almost all other accessories in my laptop bag.

Cables to Go [Posted on 2008-12-20]
I just happened across these Cables To Go while looking for another item, and I'm really glad I did. All the cables come in a neat denim like, zipper case, and the cables each have their own cut out shape in heavy foam. When you travel with them, you don't have to worry about everything being all mixed up when you need to use one of them.

I am very happy with this purchase and I would definitely recommend it. The shipping process was extrememly fast, and I will order from this store again.
