Less than half of these things work! Don't buy this! [Posted on 2004-09-30]
I saw a deal in SkyMall magazine, through TigerDirect to get this retractable cable kit for only $10 after rebate. If I hadn't spent so much on shipping, this would have gone back! Less than half of the pieces even work at all. None of the adapters worked, which was what I really wanted it for. The USB cables all worked OK (don't expect high-speed support!), but NONE of the cable adapters worked AT ALL!! For instance, I tried the USB "A-Male to B-Male" adapter that is supposed to allow you to use it as a device cable. I plugged it into my scanner. The scanner made some noise, which verified that it was plugged in. But that was it - it would not scan. I plugged in a regular USB 1.1 cable I had laying around, and the scanner worked perfectly - at USB 2.0 high-speed, even! I tried the FireWire adapter, to plug into a DV camera, and neither the computer, nor the camera could tell they were connected to each other. The FireWire cable itself works OK, although it does not include any power like other FireWire cables do. I tried both the "USB-A to Mini 4-pin adapter" on my digital camera, and it didn't work. I tried the "USB-A to Mini 5-pin adapter" on my PDA, and that didn't work either. The headphones work OK, and so does the mouse. I would NOT recommend this product.
