Compact, but a little heavy

It looks like Kensington put a lot of thought into this product, which is good to see. The cable itself is a flat ribbon cable (to facilitate winding), and of the 5 conductors in the cable, the two that carry the most current are wider than the others (lower resistance, less wasted power, and less likely to fail). The winder folds over so that the knob doesn't protrude and get snagged on things. The winder also has a ratcheting mechanism (don't worry, it doesn't click) so that you can't accidentally "unwind". I'm sure this is done to save the cable from getting loose inside the winder and causing problems. I'm sure most of you have experienced this problem with long, hand wound tape measures.

The cable with the winder is a few feet shorter than the standard cable that comes with the Kensington system, but the winder is very nice. It is much easier to wind up the cable than to have to fold up and wrap the standard cable. I'm glad Kensington went with a shorter cable length on this product. I've never had to use all 10' of the standard cable.

The winder looks and feels well-built, but I wouldn't abuse it. The winder also adds a little weight. As a result, this winding cable is heavier than the longer cable included with the charger. If weight is your primary concern, stick with the cable your system came with. I bought this because it's more compact and easier to manage, so I'm happy with my purchase. I don't mind hauling another ounce or two, given that I'm already saving so much weight by carrying one charger instead of 4.

Kensington Travel Cable Winder

Terrific item overall. Very easy to use and nicely compact. Highly recommend to the business traveler. I travel over 95% and am constantly looking for ways to streamline the various tools I use. The only complaint I have is that the 6 foot cable length isn't always sufficient depending upon the location of power when in an airport and some hotel rooms.
