Review on StarTech.com 3 ft Black USB 2.0 Extension Cable A to A - M/F - Enhanced Connectivity with 3 ft USB A to A Extension Cord by Kantrel Tunstill

It only has one problem but it makes me so frustrated that I removed two runs for this problem. The problem is that if you are used to connecting something to your computer without this cable, e.g. a USB drive and you were using its original orientation then if you are using this cable and trying to connect something like this using this cable you will now have to connect it the wrong way round compared to connecting directly to the computer . The cable itself is quite short, shorter than my middle finger between connectors and as you can imagine such a short cable doesn't twist as easily so it maintains the original orientation of the connectors and it's the manufacturer's fault for that this was not the case take these factors into account. Ideally it should allow you to connect things in the same orientation as if you were plugging a thing directly into a computer, but due to a design flaw you have to connect things the wrong way round. Perhaps long cables of this nature should not take this into account as a long cable can be twisted and you can easily hold the other end however you like, but for these types of short cables the alignment of the connectors at both ends is very important.
