I tried this operation and it is neither too thin nor too stiff and works quite well. My HTC Vive and its 15+ foot cables have no problem with that. Prior to this purchase I only had a 10ft USB-U to get the job done, I felt very limited. I will do my best to get a 16 foot cable and this time I finally have the perfect cable. I can't give less than 5 stars because it works exactly as it looks. Excellent value for money and I am very happy with my purchase.
