If you do any amount of traveling, you’ve invariably left cables behind that you later needed, resulting in a trip to Radio Shack or some place similar to pay far too much for a measly USB cable.
Do yourself a favor and pick up the Rosewill Laptop Travel Kit, which packs five different USB connectors and RJ-45 (ethernet) and RJ-11 (phone) cables. You get:
- a retractable USB 2.0 extension cable
- USB Type A connector (regular flat USB plug)
- USB Type B connector (good for printers)
- USB mini connector (good for cameras and cell phones)
- USB micro connector (used by some cameras)
- a retractable RJ-45 and RJ-11 cable
- RJ-45 cross-over connector
The setup is centered around those two retractable cables, which can be modified as needed with the various connectors mentioned above.
At $14.99 with free shipping from NewEgg the travel kit is a reasonable value, but use promo code EMCAGAFBF for a limited time to knock $5 off that price, making it more attractive.
We only wish they had included an iPod/iPhone dock connector in the mix…
