I personally thought that the cable would be a bit longer (9cm), but as is, it is supposed to be used for the completion of a suitcase. With a diameter of 3mm at the end it should fit through almost any eyelets. On the back, behind a small plastic cover still a labeling option given with 4 lines, with a little effort (the small letter) you get there an address + phone number entered. Operation is simple and if the customs in USA so that you can handle will probably only notice when it was cut, because otherwise he has, as envisaged, using the TSA keyhole on the bottom. (:
