4GB Voyager Flash drive and included cable -- what is the cable for?

[gwhatnow]

I haven't opened the package yet, because I want to make sure that the flash drive doesn't require a cable to operate.

 

I saw a post about an extension cable, is that what this included cable is? A nice extra?

 

Please confirm that the flash drive itself does not require this cable (or any cable) to connect to a USB port and be used.

No the cable is not needed to work and I would suggest connecting the drive the first time directly then you can use the extension cable.

Yes, it's an extension cable -- and yes, it's a nice extra. Sometimes it is more convenient to use the extension cable rather than putting the drive directly into the side of the computer.
