USB extender UGREEN, 2 pcs., USB 3.0.

I wanted to use my new iMac without having to keep turning it upside down to access the rear USB ports. All ports except one are occupied by external devices that are constantly in use. The empty port is sometimes used to charge other devices such as cell phones, etc. I also bought an external optical drive to use when I want to listen to my CDs or watch DVD movies (or pay taxes). Everything works great with the extension. It's definitely enough to get everything on my desk. I didn't notice any loss in playback or recording speed, but I don't understand all the huge and confusing technical numbers either. The cable allows me to strategically place external devices I rarely use or items I charge anywhere due to the length of the cable. The cables are solid and the connections fit perfectly on all the devices I've tested it with. That includes my iPhone and an external LG optical drive, etc. As long as everything works fine and the audio on playback looks as good as it does with a "direct" USB connection, it's fine. I won't be using this for external drives as the extra connection to the computer port can affect the cost/risk ratio when backing up or accessing data. I recommend this product. I'm also glad the two cables are part of this deal.
