Pretty standard piece of equipment, with typical Canon quality. No issues with cabling. I prefer the Canon unit over after market brands sold on e-bay because Canon's cables do not stiffen up and get brittle at low temperatures. I shoot outdoors in the field (astrophotography) at temperatures down to 15F (I use this adapter connected to a 12V-110V converter as camera batteries die quickly when cold). Many cheap cables get extremely brittle at temps below 30F and may break if flexed. This adapter keeps working fine with no issues.

I purchased this adapter and it worked out of the box but after about 10 hours of service, the cable that connects the camera to the transformer tip busted. I'm wondering why this has to disconnect anyway? Why not mold it permanently into the box? If it were a multi-purpose adapter I could see doing it this way. Don't trip over the cord or you're gonna have issues. The other end (wall to xformer fits snugly and isn't a problem).

For those of us who take a lot of pictures and use the camera to download large raw files, having this accessory is a necessity.

And yes, it works as advertised. The combined lengths of the adapter cord and the power cored allow for a good deal of distance from the nearest wall outlet too.

This accessory is recommended.
