AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension Cable (9.8 Feet / 3.0 Meters) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]: Customer Reviews & Product Details

These cables are as good as any cables that I have bought before. As usual, wonderful pricing and shipping by Amazon.

I purchased this USB extension cable for my iPhone charger. The cable that comes with the iPhone is just 3' short and I needed something longer. A 10' cable @ Radio Shack is around $30 so this order was a no-brainer.

The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Extension Cable comes in real handy for extending a shorter USB cable. I have used it on my printer, scanner, and other peripherals and found no noticeable degradation of signals. I like the gold-plated ends since the gold-plating protects the contacts from corrosion and ensures that I'll always have a reliable connection.

Be aware that USB extension cables do not necessarily work with devices that don't have an external power source. It's a matter of trial-and-error.

For example, the USB extension failed to work with my RF wireless dongle. (I was trying to extend the roaming distance between my wireless keyboard and my desktop computer.) However, it works flawlessly with all of my devices that supply their own power (printer, scanner, etc.).

Amazon's frustration free packaging is wonderful; the package opens easily so you don't have to wrestle with difficult-to-open blister packages.

The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Extension Cable is a quality cable at a very reasonable price. Recommended.

This is a very nice quality cable. The gold ends, and the flexibility of the cable is very good. I really like the indentations for my fingers.

While it might not be the cheapest cable out there; you get what you pay for. At under $4 I'll buy it from Amazon any day.

I could go anywhere and pay up to $15 for this extension cable, but why bother? Amazon's "basic" cable is perfect, passes a 5-by-5 signal and has no drawbacks. Buy this cable if you need one like it.
