It just works when you need it

I needed to move my tower from behind my desk to a server rack in a closet. Why are computers scattered everywhere when they can be collected? I was distracted. To do this, I needed a USB hub on my desktop for my keyboard, mouse, microphone, Focusrite USB audio interface, and other things. This was required to connect to my rack computer, which involved climbing the wall, walking the ceiling, and returning to the server closet, which required at least 29 feet with no sag. The 35ft was perfect but this 50ft was the closest I could find and for the money it couldn't be better assuming it works. Well it works and it works well. I connected it to one of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports on the back of my Asus Crosshair VIII Hero X570 and at the other end to a Revain Basics 7-port USB3 hub. Everything just works. My Elgato HD60 has no problem cycling through it when I'm monitoring my Focusrite Scarlett, tapping and clicking. Unlike some others, I had no problem with having to unplug and plug back in to plug something in. I've been using it every day for almost two weeks and haven't had any problems. If you need to stretch the USB further away, this cable is perfect.
