Review on Industrial Electrical Panel Mount USB Cable by StarTech Com by Leslie Matlak

I liked the fact that the panel mount part of the cable is protected from the elements during installation. However, after a few months of use, the cable on the B jack side became intermittent. In my application, the female side B has experienced fewer than 50 mating/unmating cycles in her lifetime. At first, the problem was solved by simply shaking it. After about 5 months, the female B-side became more and more intermittent until communication was no longer possible. A toothpick and careful prying open the contacts improved the B socket side to "slightly broken".
