Stay Connected On The Go With Black Box Retractable Cable Kit
Working on the road with our laptop is been very
productive. We can update our social sites, post to our blogs, and update
websites with the latest travel news. One of the down falls we've
encountered in the past is dragging along extra cords we often use. This
problem is history since we started using the Travel Cable Kit from Black
Box.
Inside this Black Box, which fits nicely in our laptop case, are
four handy accessories; A retractable power cord, retractable patch cable, a
very handy USB Notebook light, and a USB Optical Mouse. Each piece fits
snuggly and securely inside its own cushioned spot within the handy travel
case.
The USB Optical Mouse is perfect because it has a 24"
retractable cable, which is guaranteed for up to 3000 pulls. This makes it
easy to use the mouse when sitting on a plane because you can uses it on
your lap or other surface. It's also compatible with Windows ME, XP, and 7,
so whichever laptop we use, we're certain it will work.
Before we got
the kit we relied on the brighten function of our laptop when using it a
night. It worked well enough to read the screen, although it was still
difficult to see the keyboard. This can be frustrating when we switch
laptops because the keys are not always laid out the same. With the handy
USB Notebook light we can see the keys and get work done much faster. It is
also helpful for reading a map or directions as well when were not connected
online or via WIFI.
The retractable patch cable has come in use often
for hooking into the High Speed internet at the hotels. We rarely used the
Free service before owning the Black Box Travel Cable Kit because our cord
was too bulky to stuff into our laptop case. The retractable patch cable is
60" long, so there's plenty of reach!
While we do not use the
retractable power cord it is handy to have on hand because we have blown our
cords in the past. So, if this happens again; we're prepared in a pitch.
Black Box also has other Travel Cable Kits and accessories available as
well, which are all ideal for business and leisure travelers, as well as
students. Because the Black Box Travel Cable Kit is compact it can easily
fit in a laptop case, backpack, or purse. There's plenty of room in the case
to keep our USB's, extra SD cards, and a couple DVD's in thin cases as well.
For anyone who works or enjoys using their laptop on the go, the Black
Box Travel Cable Kit is the perfect gift for any occasion!
