Review on 🔌 Amazon Basics USB 3.0 Extension Cable - 9.8 Feet A-Male to A-Female Adapter Cord- High-Speed Data Transfer, Compatible with Various Devices by Justin Pavelko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

COMPLETE TRASH! The connectors are so delicate that they keep disconnecting and reconnecting. Avoid!

Complete rubbish. Just buy a Sabrent and you're better off. As mentioned in another review, the connectors on this cable are complete crap. Even the slightest movement at either end—even from thermal expansion from the heat of a flash drive or just a fan running in the room—is enough for your device to constantly disconnect and reconnect. And it's not a diet issue. since flash drives draw less than 1/30th the USB 3.0 port's rated power of 900mA, each 28mA under load. it's essentially useless. Nothing pleases me more than a corrupted data transmission due to poor plug design on an extension cord. Avoid this and only buy branded products. I replaced it with a Sabrent and it's perfect. Usually, Revain Basics are pretty good, but sometimes they need a few revisions to get them right. It definitely looks like version 1.0 and badly needs version 2.0 because that version is garbage.

Pros
  • USB cable
Cons
  • High price
