Serialio USB cable

Well as promised I'm reviewing the Serialio cable I just received. So far I'm not impressed and had to go back to the Cradle. It keeps dropping my connection between my pc and the Z. Not very usable at this point. I am going to mess around with it some more and see if I can figure out why. I'll keep you all posted on my progress. At this point I don't recommend this at all and do to the fact that I had to knock off the locking ears to use it with the SL-5600 I am pretty sure they won't take it back.

A little follow up.

Got it working with laptop in a dock, looks like the laptop USB port is underpowered for the Z (5vdc @ 1a). By the way the laptop I am using is a Dell C400.

My score:


I've had this product for about a year and use it on a daily basis with my SL5500. So far I have had no problems with it. At first, the connector was a little tight going in, but as time went on, it became a lot easier. The ears are there to make sure the connector does not come off very easily, so I wouldn't want to take them off. Other than the fact that the price is a little high for this, when you consider the other options available, it is a good buy.

I just received today my serialO cable. Too nice !
I used all the afternoon without disconnection problem or other.
Very good accessory.

I'll me-too mwbarker's comment. Had mine for a year, no problems, also noticed the "ears" got looser as the cable is used more.

And me-too about the too-high price - that's the only complaint I have. Well, the hot pink Malibu Barbie color, too.

I use this for long, and it is very great. Works like the cradle in terms of USB connectivity, and replaces my AC power adapter. In fact I had two craddles (one for home, one for work) and I sold one after I had the cable for a while. Would not want to miss it. Also, it is the only option for use in confined spaces (like an airplane).
