Review on USB Extension Cable 10Ft 2-Pack by James Mayfield

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Heavy-duty connectors and abrasion-resistant braided cable jacket

10ft USB Extension Cable, 2 pcs. Boxed, Sweguard Type A Nylon Braided USB 3.0 Extender, 5Gb/s High Speed Support, Compatible with USB Keyboard, Flash Drive, Hard Drive, Printer and More - Gray, Multiple Languages. Inside the box, the cables themselves are rolled up in their own reusable cable tie. A simple but nice bonus from the manufacturer. The nice thing is that you can roll them up if they're too long or if you lay them down between uses. The cable itself is a lot thicker than most USB cables and is a bit tight if you try to bend it, but I don't see anything wrong with it in this case. The stiffness of the cable is a plus for me because when I need to route it around things it needs to stay where I put it. The end connectors are also pretty solid. Both the male and female ends of these USB 3 cables are protected by a metal sleeve long enough for you to have a good grip. So when you use them to connect your devices, it's easy for you to grab the plug yourself and not pull the cord. The gray braided sheath on the cable appears to be quite abrasion-resistant. Overall, they make a fairly well-made and robust impression. While I have no intention of abusing them, no matter how tough they're made, it seems like they can take a little abuse when the need arises?
