StarTech - PCMACLINK2 - USB to USB Data Transfer Cable for Windows and Mac

The PCMACLINK2 USB to USB data transfer cable offers direct file transfers via USB connection between two computers (PC and Mac, PC and PC, Mac and Mac).

The USB data transfer cable eliminates the complicated network setup required to transfer files between computers, or the need to use external storage devices to transfer files back and forth, saving time and hassle.

Once the cable has been connected, a built-in software suite will automatically install on each computer, which not only creates a convenient path for the file transfers but also allows you to sync e-mails from Microsoft Outlook®, synchronize the contents of entire folders, or even share CD/DVD drive access and an Internet connection (between two Windows-based computers).
