Not even the same spec as the official nintendo one, July 13 2005

Long story short: DON'T BUY THIS ADAPTER, IT WILL FRUSTRATE YOU.
The Intec brand gamecube power adapter has different specs than the official nintendo one. The official adapter provides 3.25amps of DC output. The Intec one is only rated for 2.75amps. Becuase the Intec ones doesn't provide sufficient power, sometimes the gamecube won't spin up your game disk. Especially after playing for a long time and then changing disks. This is probably due to the power adapter warming up (as all power adapters do). The annoying part is that it seems you can only get the nintendo branded adapter from [...]. Oh well.

I bought this adapter thinking it would answer my problems. It did, but only for a couple of months. Just stopped working like the nintendo one did.

Does exactly what it should..., April 7 2004

This is the same AC Adapter that comes with the 'cube so you only need it if yours died or was damaged...
It gets it's job done just fine. Perhaps even a little better then most due to the fact that the box is in the middle of the cord and not on the plug end. This makes it much more convient, since it takes up less space on powerstrips and wall sockets.
