    The USB Breakaway Cable for Xbox 360 Wired Controller is a useful and indispensable part designed specifically for the wired controller of Xbox 360.

    Is the only thing that I could find that it looks like.

    Ok thanks Rustys. Not sure what that's doing in there! Ok I'll leave that out of the setup then. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Edit to reflect I was slow typing again...lol

    Hi Zac, and welcome to CHF.

    I don't know what that cable is for, but someone else here might.

    In the mean time check for any serial numbers or markings on the cable. Then google those numbers/letters.
    If your computer is brand new, check the box/packaging for a what's in the box list.

    Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment.

    Good call, Rusty. When this image is rotated, they look the same to me.

    Hi PseFrank. Apparently its an xBox breakout cable for guitar hero and such. Not really sure what it was doing in the box! Independent gaming PC company in the south of England. Hopefully it's not been replaced for an actual PC cable! Everything seems ok and all the other cables are in there by the look of it. Thanks for the help guys.

    Yeah that's definitely it Dougie. It's only a few inches long. I'll phone up the PC company on Monday to see why it's in the box. Bit weird!
