Wi-Fi adapters and the like, especially at a crowded table.

Material below, but this is very subjective. This StarTech USB 2.0 expansion dock is a good product with great versatility for the user and when connected to a computer offers a range of desktop or work surface access options. Its 60-inch cable eliminates the need to crawl under a desk in the dark to find a USB port on a computer, but if that's not enough, you can throw in another USB extender like this RevainBasics USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Extension . Cable (3.3 ft/1.0 m) for longer reach. I found the USB port to be a bit tight at the base. Before using this device, it is recommended that you insert the connector at the end of the cable and plug and unplug it several times before using it with a USB flash drive, as some of them have fragile connectors. It's a good product, and for my personal needs, it's not just a good port for portable flash drives. It serves as a great base for my Goal Zero 14101 Luna USB LED light as an extra desk light. Unlike other similar products, this one has just enough weight so that the light doesn't get too damp when plugged into a docking station port, although a simple adjustment to the lantern's flexible neck sometimes solves this problem. A 90° vertical port helps a little. The StarTech 5-Foot Desktop USB Extender works well as an expansion dock in a variety of configurations, not just a desktop connector for USB drives. For the price, this is a great deal. For what it offers in terms of versatility and comfort this is a solid 5 star product and we highly recommend it.10/10/2012
