Review on USB Extension Cable USB 3 by Kevin Taharka

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great cable, good for organizing space under your TV

This is a fairly durable and long cable if you're trying to extend the USB port to connect devices simplify your computer, media center or television. As for me, I actually enjoy plugging my big USB sticks into my computer since my only place is at the back of my computer. I like having the USB right under my monitor so this is a good way to do that. I have WiFi dongles that are slightly larger and take up more than one USB port. I need to disconnect another USB device to connect it. This allows me to simply plug in the dongle, without having to worry about deleting them, and I don't even have to reach into my computer. to find an empty port. . I can also use this to extend hard drive cables. The other case is I tend to use this to extend the USB port on the back of my TV. I hate randomly plugging in my flash drive to play videos. With this device, the effort is definitely less. This works for a laptop too, but you're probably just carrying overly long cables that take up space in your bag. This cable is built quite well and note that it is a bit heavier as it is made of a thicker material. The metal ends scratch a little easily, but the nylon fiber makes it sturdy and harder to wear. The disadvantage is, that it is very difficult to keep still. I had to tape mine to the side to make it straight and tucked. It's easy to plug in without holding onto the outlet. Speaking of USB-A female, you will need to break the female end of this cable. It actually took some effort to plug in the dongle/flash drive the first few times before plugging became a bit easier. As far as I can tell, using this cable doesn't decrease transfer speeds. It transfers at the same speed as if you plugged it directly into a USB port. I connected my external hard drive to this cable and didn't have any connection issues either. Overall I think this is a good device if you are trying to Connect a larger device to USB ports without worrying about losing a port or running an extension cord to connect devices. It's well built but difficult to keep in one position. The first few times it is difficult to connect this extension cord. It works with an external 2.5 hard drive and does not need additional power supply if it is USB 3.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
