This accessory was ordered to complement my Olympus Digital Recorder Model#: WS853. This cable is perfect. I use it to recharge the recorder with my laptop and in the car with a USB power adaptor. I also use this cable to recharge my recorder with an AC/USB adaptor.It is an extremely convenient accessory and is small enough to carry easily. I definitely recommend this item if you own an Olympus digital recorder and use it regularly. It is especially useful for those times when you are unable to recharge your recorder with a laptop.
