Summary: This cable connector was from Olympus, and not a 3 party generic cable. I ordered from one of the vendors listed on the web easily on 4/5/05, with a confirmation email sent after my order was placed. The product arrived on 4/8/05. I opened the shipment, and was able to use the cable within 5 minutes. The cable connected easily to both the computer and my digital camera. I was able to quickly upload my pictures from the camera to the PC. The cable was sturdy, and long enough to reach from the camera to the PC if the two units were in close proximity to each other. I store the camera with the cable, in case I want to transfer pictures at the last moment. I'm glad I purchased the cable, since it easily connects to the PC and the digital camera. The cable bends easily, and is not too stiff.

Summary: The Olympus CB-USB4 has proven thus far to be a very reliable, durable and effective product. It performs its necessary function with no delays or incidents. I would reccomend it highly to anyone looking for this type of a USB.
