multi cable (Rating: 3 out of 5) Dissapointed that the description wasn't clear as to how it works. The package says that you cannot transfer fire wire to usb...the description says that you can.
Not clear.
Not worth twenty-five bucks let alone the msrp sixty (Rating: 2 out of 5) I bought this cable in hopes of not lugging around three or four cables when I travel for all of my various camera, camcorder, external HD, and iPod needs. Since purchasing the cable, I still lug around all my cables and leave this "multicable" at home to collect dust. While the concept is fantastic, the design of this cable is horrendous.
The Problems:
First off, the firewire part of the cable is ONLY 6 pin to 4 pin. So forget using it with most harddrives or any other firewire device besides a camcorder. Not only that but it does not crossover anything from usb to firewire or visa versa. Second, I have never even SEEN, let alone needed the other various funky usb ends. To make matters worse, the cable comes with an ADAPTOR, that they sneak into the non visible part of the package for use with more common usb devices which you have to lug around in addition to this POS.
On top of that, the package and description say that it is for use with mp3 players. The package even has a picture of an iPod on it. But alas...no iPod connection plug. If it doesn't work with the worlds most popular mp3 player, I'm curious as to what "mp3 player" it does work with.
So in summary, don't waste your money on this unless you have some type of rare device that can actually utilize at least more than one of these useless ends.
