This product needs some kind of driver (that is not available separately) to actually be able to use it as advertised. After buying the cable it seems that the company may have gotten complaints. Now when I did a search for the same product, it comes with the cd driver that actually makes this product work. I am very upset and disappointed with the lack of information needed to make an educated decision on this purchase. Be careful and make sure it comes with the driver to make it work!!
