Works best in computer and accessories section

I bought this cable to work with AOC E1649FWU 16 inch USB Powered Portable LED Monitor - Glossy Black which I bought. Using the cable was as easy as plugging in any other USB port. Cable. There is a disclaimer on the packaging that I want to reiterate. If what you have connected to this cable requires both power and data from the USB cable, it will not work. I can confirm that. Luckily for the monitor I bought a split USB cable (one for power, one for data). I tried to test this active…

Thank you for making great and affordable Plugable products!

I needed something to extend my Logitech C920 camera for remote desktop sessions so the far end can see into the room if needed. This cable was perfect in every way and it was a great price. I have purchased several other products from Plugable and have found them to be the best in terms of quality and price! Pluggable is my supplier for USB adapters. Thank you for making great and affordable Plugable products!

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • I'm worried

Excellent active USB extender, recommended

I ordered this cable to use with my Thrustmaster TX Ferrarri 458 Xbox One racing wheel because the wheel comes with a short USB cable and I have my own Playseat in it had to install corner of my room. I used standard USB extensions at first but I had a major issue with the wheel disconnecting while playing due to USB data transfer or power issues, now with a 5m pluggable active extension that ends up with a small Circuit has everything works great for proper control of USB data transfer, the…

  • As everything before

Works pretty well even in pro audio situations

I was really worried about getting a USB extender but I needed something in my recording studio for USB controllers that work with ProTools on mine Computers were connected, logic etc. I was concerned about latency, latency etc or poor connectivity. I am pleased to report that nothing of the sort has been observed with this cable. I have an electric drum kit and these triggers should fire with no delay when I want to record something with this kit. No problem. I would highly recommend this…

Works as it should

This USB extender is of good quality and works great. I use it to extend the range of my HD webcam. Having an extra 16 feet to move the camera away from my laptop was crucial. The data transfer speed was excellent. The cable arrived on time.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Some cons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works, a little picky about the connection order.

It took me a ridiculous run from a lab bench with a computer to one with a hub. That works great. It seemed to me that some people had problems using devices that consume electricity. A powered hub solves this problem. I am using Debian Linux which recognizes when I connect devices to the cable and hub. When initially installed, connecting from a computer to a hub worked best.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • There are nuances

Get this if you're on the fence

We've used it on electronic drum kits to plug into a computer or interface. Because of this, we were concerned that the signal would be attenuated throughout the length of the extension and cause audio clipping. We experienced ZERO LATE. Fantastic product, fantastic value. Bought a second one for the keyboard. Thank you guys!

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
