I recommend the pfranc combo. The power injecter in seperate so you still have a regular serial cable without a light plug hanging off of it. And it's $15.00 cheaper.

BTW the connector on mine is thin and purple and locks into place unlike the one shown above, so I think they've done an update. I got mine from the guy in oregon. I recommend asking first to make sure you get the same kind.
