Review on πŸ”Œ Amazon Basics 32ft USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable - Type A-Male to A-Female Long Cord for Extended Reach by Andrea Lee

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It shouldn't work, but it works!

This cable should not work. According to the USB spec, I need a hub every 5m to avoid violating the propagation delay limit. But here I am with a 10 meter cable that easily runs my Schiit Modi (Audio DAC) from my Macbook to the other end of the room. I'm assuming there's a simple hub at the Rx end of the cable. The cable looks good too. It's relatively thin and flexible. I haven't run any tests to determine how good it is or how subpar the cable is, but for my application it works like a charm. I'm also blown away by the price ($15)! Well done Rewin!

Pros
  • USB Hub: Single port bus powered USB hub (no separate power/plug required)
Cons
  • Repair
