BoxWave Rio Carbon miniSync Retractable Cable

BoxWave Rio Carbon miniSync Retractable Cable
  • Now supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfers!
  • Synchronizes and charges just like the cradle
  • Innovative retraction and recoil design
  • Extends to 25 inches in length
  • Durable, compact, and lightweight

When I purchased the MiniSync for my Rio Carbon I was immediately impressed with how well constructed it seemed, as well as the beautiful functionality of the retractible cord and the fact that data transfer and charging could be attained through such a small, strong wire.

However, the cable soon proved to have inconsistent results with different USB ports, as my Carbon would not be detected by over half the computers I tried using this cable with. Add to that disappointment the fragility of the plastic surrounding the 'spindle' resulting in breakage preventing the cable from retracting and I can no longer recommend this product.

I didn't discover these flaws until the 100-day warranty had expired, and the best BoxWave would do to help me was give me a 25% off coupon towards the purchase of another MiniSync cable. It's possible they've improved their design by now.
