But works. See Cables and Connections

This cable works, but only one way. The USB icon on both ends should be facing up, then you need to make sure that the cable you are connecting to it is properly connected as well. This results in multiple connection attempts, reducing efficiency. Again, the cable works, but you'll have to fiddle with it to connect it properly. 3 stars because it works. I'm taking off 2 stars because it's awkward to turn it on multiple times.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Disappears

Only works in ONE orientation, which is unrealistic

The ENTIRE goal of the USB-C specification was to create a connector that orientation doesn't matter. So this cable doesn't connect the conductors properly and only works in one direction, except that it's physically symmetrical and you can't tell which is which. I started it twice because it looks well done and works in one orientation. . I'm amazed at the reviews that mention you need to orient it properly, but that seems fine.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Update available

Saved power connector of my Lenovo laptop.

My Lenovo E495 power adapter was wiggling around in my laptop's USB-C port and I was increasingly noticing that my laptop wasn't charging even though I had the charger's USB-C connector plugged in. This little cable, now used as a power bank extender, solved the problem as it has a much better connection to both the laptop and the power bank's USB-C connector. The strong braid provides more support and reduces the chance of both ends twisting and unraveling. An unusual use case perhaps, but one

Great for computers and accessories

I used this to connect a USB-C hub to my desktop. I know there is a lot of controversy about USB-C extenders not really working at full speed or not recognizing devices connected to them. After reading all the reviews I decided on this one and I'm glad I did. I haven't done any formal testing, so I can't say if there's a performance hit. But I didn't really notice. Note that it is sensitive to cable orientation. So if it doesn't work or only works partially, turn the plug around. But once…

  • Weight

  • Some bugs

Works as expected - fast with no errors

I'm using this 020cm USB-C extender to properly connect my 4-port USB-C to USB 3.1 hub an iMac works. The originally connected hub cable was only 20 cm long, so the hub could not lay flat behind the computer, and the short cable also put unnecessary mechanical stress on the USB-C port connector. This USB-C male to USB-C female adapter was the perfect solution to the problems caused by the hub manufacturer's saving of cable length. This is a tough cable, but for most applications this shouldn't…

Pros
  • That's great
Cons
  • I'll add it later

Works great for my use of connecting a SanDisk USB stick to my Samsung Galaxy S10e Android phone connect. Even with the Otterbox case on my phone, the USB drive can be plugged directly into my phone, which can be an issue with older OtterBox cases, but securing with that short cable seems to help prevent potential damage to the USB port on the Avoid using the phone if it is dropped or Many reviews negatively mention that it can only be used when turned right side of the connector up. I'm…

  • Best in its niche

Very good quality - and it works

After about 40 plugging/unplugging the Type-C USB charging cable for my new Asus ZenBook UX425E, I noticed that the plastic parts inside the tiny Type-C plugs began to warp and under the magnifying glass a kind of plastic disappeared. To make sure it doesn't get stuck in a port on the laptop (which is obviously much more premium), I ordered this short cable as a disposable extension to an OEM charger for $65. The OEM charger has a socket that's permanently attached to the wall socket (plug in a

The ONLY reason I bought this cable was to connect to the DEX without unboxing the Note 8. I have both USB devices and GigE connections in my DEX. Unfortunately, only HDMI and power work. I…

It works. Like, like, something like. Not reversible.

In the introduction to the review, I say that there is no USB-C standard for extension cables. This cable simply implements the USB-C cable standard, with one end being a female connector instead of two male connectors. That's bad because the USB-C cable itself isn't reversible. The implementation of the device makes it reversible. USB-C cables are not required to implement USB 2.0 on both sides and a full set of sideband signals. The correct extension cable should route the USB and sideband…

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive
