Efficient Extension for Improved Gaming Setup

This extension cable worked exceptionally well in extending the distance between my PlayStation and keyboard. According to my experience, the signal strength remained strong and steady without any lag. It's also easy to install and hassle-free to use. However, I found the cable to be slightly pricier compared to similar products in the market. Overall, it's a great addition to any gamers' cable and accessory collections, especially for computers with complex setups requiring long cable runs.

Pros
  • Compatible with PlayStation keyboard
Cons
  • Requires an additional power source

They work great in computer accessories and peripherals

I bought these to expand my Raspberry Pi keyboard/mouse. They work great and haven't had any problems. One thing to consider is that they are "active", meaning they have built-in signal amplification circuitry. They draw power for the amplifiers from the computer/device they are connected to. In my case I had to buy a higher current rated power supply for my PI to accommodate these cables as well as some other circuitry I added to the Pi. If you use them on a regular PC/Mac/Playstation, you…

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
Cons
  • No instructions

Works well better than I thought

This extension cable carries power and data over 30 feet, making it very useful for remote projects. I had a Z-Wave USB dongle that I wanted in my attic, but I wanted to rub power in there (maybe, but tedious). I put a Raspberry Pi in my basement and used a key to run a cable between the walls in the attic. Plugged in and turned on immediately. The radio is transmitting and I am receiving data. It's not a lot of data but enough for my home IOT projects.

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • There are bugs
