    Purchased item to assist in downloading photos from a digital camera, however the plug would not fit the camera. An illustration showing the actual size of the plug on the package would have helped. Otherwise, the item was well-made and a good value.

    Great quality. It could be just a bit longer but it’s understandable that for what it does the length being longer would jeopardize the quality

    This was the only cable that would fit the back of my keyboard as the original manufacturer no longer made the cable. Saved the day.

    If you need this specific cable, there aren't a lot of places you can find them locally. So if you need it in a pinch, I'd recommend checking Best Buy over most other stores that carry cables.

    It does exactly what its supposed to and seems to be very durable. Its also very light and wraps up well, so I keep an extra one in my back pack and have not been asked to unpack it while going through airport security.

    USB cable for my camera

    Camera had error message: "Communication Error". Talked with CSR at Best Buy, he said it might be the cable. Bought it, took it home, plugged in my camera, got same error message. Oh well, have an extra USB cable now. PS: Had to bring my camera in for that error message, they sent if off, and weeks later, they returned it, NOT FIXED-they would not fix it due to a recall (plastic around lens could cause an allergy)!!!. I took it home, still got the error, put in a different memory card, and poof whalah-it worked-no error message, software came up properly. Sure wish Best Buy Geek Squad would have known that-it sure would have saved me alot of time and trouble and frustration!
