The other cables allow you to plug the Airport into your stereo, into either RCA jacks or a TOSLink (laser ooptic cable thingy). The cord replaces the wall-wart style OEM plug. I have no complaints at all. I'm not sure how "battery life" applies to a set of cables. but it's in the "attributes" list.This is a power cord and set of cables. I'm using the TOSLink (less cables to mess with).It's nice to be able to move the appliance off of the wall, and the other cables are handy for connecting to your stereo.
Since Apple does not seem to provide the power cord separately, I ended up purchasing this kit. Overall the kit worked very well; however, I believe the price could be lower and they should offer the ability to buy only the cables you truly need. I needed the mini toslink cable as well as the extended power cord. It is wasteful as I expect most people would only end up using one of the two audio cables.
The quality is good and matches other white components.HOWEVER There are cheaper options on amazon and elsewhere. Look around and save yourself some money.
Hey, you can get it cheaper.but monster cable for the Airport has everything you need and you know it's goin work.
I can connect one box via optical cable to the main home stereo. With this package, several cables are included to make sure you get the connection you need. So look at the price as providing 2 functioning cables, not one. Packaged as multiple options for one solution, this is actually a package of several solutions. I use multiple Apple Airport Express boxes to extend my wireless network and to play iTunes around the house. I can use a second RCA-style cable to connect the box in the kitchen to the A/V receiver there.
