Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced Connectivity with StarTech's 1.8 Ft Printer Cable by Chris Munns

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for self-powered (with its own power supply) but not bus-powered (USB-powered) devices.

Good for low power peripherals but doesn't carry enough current to power anything even if it's a little hungry. For example, the XBox360 controller will flake every time the vibration function is activated, but if you connect a powered hub with this cable and then connect the controller to the powered hub, it will work normally. As with many other cables, I find the wire gauge too thin.

Pros
  • Cables and Connections
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
