A great kit August 8, 2008

I picked this up and was able to clear out a lot of clutter from my backpack. I travel often to customer sites and being able to mix and match connectors is very convenient. Being able to make console and crossover cables can be a life saver.

I'll give it 5 stars despite the mouse. Don't get me wrong, it works great. It's an optical wheel mouse and while small works great. My only objection is that the mouse buttons make too loud of a noise when you click them. Almost like a kids toy.

This is one of those products that I wish I could have bought much sooner. it has a wide variety of different cable needs for my laptop and the best part is that it is all neatly arranged in one place for me to refer to. As a heavy notebook and travel computing user, I was constantly plagued with clutter in my computer bag, and having great difficulty finding anything among the dozens of pockets. With this kit, all of my cabling needs are in one place, that I can quickly get too, and no more fumbling.

Excellent addition to your travel kit September 18, 2008

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 December 9, 2008

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.
