As far as I can tell, this works correctly. The device I used it with charged after all and nothing has burst into flames (knock on wood). If you ever find yourself in Staples with a few bucks to blow, you can always get a Braided cable.
It had to have a connector to use with my set up but the tech guy knew exactly what was needed to make the correct connection and went right to it. Solved the puzzle of hooking it up.
