Retractable Firewire Cable 4PIN 28AWG Review

As a result of using this cable, I found that it frequently disconnects from my computer during data transfers, causing lost files and frustration. While the retractable feature is convenient for storage, it doesn't make up for the poor quality and high price point.

For those who value compactness, these coil spring cables are just the ticket. A series of ratcheting stops allow you to extend the cable multiple lengths - up to 3 feet - and when you're done, the spring mechanism returns it to a compact form. I have about 10 of these (because I use them not only with my laptop but also around the house where by extending them to the length I need I can relieve the headache of having to coil and tie those unsightly cables). what we constantly have to accept…

I needed this cable to transfer a videotape from a mini DV cam to a computer and then to a DVD. It is very convenient to put it in your device bag without worrying that it will be confused.
