This item adds an extra layer of security to mobile professionals in dangerous environments
I survey and design WiFi 802.11 networks for a living and I'm sometimes in environments where there are dangerous mechanical moving parts as well as other hazards by having a Surface Pro 4 with a cable attached to an Ekahau Sidekick device collecting data.While the Ekahau Sidekick is a revolutionary wifi surveying device, I did not realize that the cable could be a potential safety hazard until I had a safety compliance officer for a client point it out. After much thought of what could happen if I got snagged like damaging the USB port of a Surface Pro $$$, damage to the Surface Pro or the Sidekick or a possible life altering injury, I started thinking outside of the box.That lead me to finding this device. So far with all of my testing, it's needs suit exactly what I need. It's just a breakaway just like the older Macbooks. The connection is tight enough I feel more than secure without worries of an accident disconnection but I am also sure that I won't be put into any dangerous situations if it gets snagged up.It is protecting myself, my tablet and my costly wireless surveying devices. I'm sold and I will be purchasing this for my team for manufacturing and warehouse environment wireless surveys and design.

Works pretty well.

Plugging in a cord with a drive attached that can be connected to my belt, gives me a way to ensure that someone does not walk off with my laptop without me noticing! I use Linux and that gives me the opportunity to setup a file that can be run when Linux detects the removal of the drive. Not a bad idea!

This also assures that no one walks off with the information in the thumbdrive.

Great addition to my car's USB connector. There is no chance I can mess up my car's USB port now! Phones always get dropped or yanked on in the car, this stops that problem from making a big problem! USB 2.0 speed only but that's ok.. it's just streaming audio to the car infotainment system!

Works great! I have dogs that are not very good at looking where there are going and would trip over my cords and pull electronics off shelves.
