You get tons of cables and accessories in this kit. It is housed in a nice zippered carrying case that opens like a book. Each accessory is fitted its own niche, customized hole in sturdy black foam. Looks impressive except the foam is too hard and too tight fitting that removing any of the accessory proved to be too challenging. You will need to be careful or you might accidentally break some of the more delicate items such as the earphones and the mouse.
The quality of these kit are on the flimsy side. The mouse is too small even for a laptop. Its button wheel functions and works as good as my regular mouse, but the clicks are unpleasantly loud. The earphones has a microphone but the wires are just too thin. Actually, the smallest gauge I have seen use on a pair of earphones by far. Some of the cables has a retractable cord spool, I like those as it minimize the clutter. Considering the number of accessories that you get with this kit, for an average consumer, it is more likely that you will only use less than half of this kit.
Kit includes:
- 3ft stereo retractable earphone and microphone
- 3.5ft retractable USB A/Male to USB A/Female cable
- 4ft retractable USB A/Male to USB A/Male cable
- 3ft retractable FireWire 1394a 6-Pin/Male to 6-Pin/Male cable
- 3ft RJ11 retractable cable
- USB A/Male to USB A/Male connector
- USB A/Male to USB B/Male connector
- USB A/Male to USB 4-Pin Mini B/Male connector
- USB A/Male to USB 5-Pin Mini B/Male connector
- FireWire 6-Pin/Female to 4-Pin/Male connector
- 2x RJ45 to USB A/Female connectors
- 2x RJ11 to USB A/Female connectors
- RJ45 crossover connector
- 4-port USB hub
- Mini retractable USB optical mouse

First, I admit I'm a little bit of a techo-weenie gear head. I also travel extensively. I have had a kit similar to this for several years and it has bailed me out over and over again. When I saw this kit in the gold box deals I knew it was time to supplement or retire the old one. I've only had it a few days now but so far I can tell you the case is well built and solid and the cables and adapters are well made. I expect to use it for many years to come. This kit will easily replace a whole bag of assorted cables that I would otherwise have to carry when traveling.

The actual zipped container is bigger (thicker) than it looks.
It contains almost every conceivable combination of cabling that you will need for USB, fire-wire and Ethernet.
The components can be a bit tricky to remove, due to the tight fit into the stiff foam cut-outs, but then when they are in place the components are not going to rattle around.
I did have an issue with the IEEE1394 6F-4M connector. It does not appear to work.
Do not loose the single sheet, double sided instructions; they list the correct combination of cables and connectors.
Got the product in a gold box deal for less that $12, so it really is excellent value at that price.
The USB hub is similar to a triplite (which I also have) and it does accept an external 5V power pack (not included), so it is a power USB hub in fact.

I have ended up using this product a lot, much more than I thought I would. It has a cable for pretty much everything. I can even have a spare printer cable just in case. This kit also comes with a mouse -- when my main mouse broke, I had this little guy and was able to use my computer until I got a new one. The USB hub is nice, but the ports do seem a little slower since it is self-powered.
It is just a little cheaply made. When I was snapping a cable back into place, the whole contraption that makes it retract broke. It took about 15 minutes to fix and it still doesn't retract as well as before.
Even though it may not be the best made product out there, it does work and it works nicely. You'll get much more use out of this than you think.

This little thing has saved us a small fortune in both time and money. Originally tried it because a keyboard adaptor was going to cost over $50...well, this didn't work for that situation BUT, it has worked for several other similar situations. Perfect for traveling or to keep on hand for those odd replacements you need now and then. Will buy a 2nd one once it goes back on sale - great set, nice packaging and you will use more often than you might think!
