I gave this product 3 stars because it is a cable. In the most amazing moment of that brief moment we call "life," he does one thing. it powers my xbox. I'm glad he does and I'm fine with the product. It's just hard to play around with the cable. The cables seem to excel at 3 stars. If you have a 5-star cable at home, you must write to me and tell me what is so great about this cable that it can push the physical-scientific limits of the 3-star rating of any other cable in the universe.
