USB 2.0 Extension Cable Type A Male to Type A Female 6 ft, Black
Customer Reviews
Rob Engers @ September 17,2009 It is what it says it is!
Works great. I wanted to put my printer a bit further away from my computer, and rather than buying an expensive proprietary USB cable, I just got this extender for cheap.
Great deal.
Great deal.
brandeeno @ September 23,2009 Got this for an iPhone charger extension
Considering how bad the iPhone's battery life is, I am surprised Apple gave such a small chord to charge it, since you'd need to use it while charging so much.
I got this to fix that issue. Now I have nice long charging chord for my iPhone

B. Nyleen @ November 9,2008 Work perfect at a great price!
Got two of these about a year ago. They work great as long as you tie it into another line that isn't too long. I never had a single problem with these in the year I used them. I just need more of them as now I have more tech in my house.
quiz @ February 1,2011 For the price, I put up with the glitches
It got the stars mainly due to price. It works, but you get what you pay for.
The fact that USB extension cords in general have given my workspace much more flexibility is wonderful perhaps needs to separated from this review. Next time will probably splurge a few bucks more for one with more consistent functionality.
I bought two. One for the keyboard, one for mouse. The one for the keyboard kept losing the connection despite double and triple checks that things were in fact connected. I would randomly hear the 'ding' you get when you unplug/plug something from the USB slots. It really puts a cramp in your writing style if your keyboard disconnects every few minutes. The disconnection glitch lasts a second, sometimes more. That I could tolerate on the mouse since I don't use it very often. So I selected the best of the two for my mouse and ended up putting the keyboard back on a direct connection. It's been a couple of months and maybe the cord has warmed up or something. I still get a rare, second long stop in function, but the connect/disconnect problem hasn't happened in for a few weeks.

Pat @ February 20,2010 Great Product!
Just as simple as it seems! Remember if you are trying to go quite a distance, your USB cable needs to be less than 15' total or else you risk losing signal. So a 15' cable with a 4' printer cable (for example) would ut you at 19' and it probably wont work correctly. Thanks!
John Lellis @ March 3,2010 As good as it gets
Soundly made, does what it's supposed to. Couldn't be happier (unless they had also included free shipping with the $0.01 price).
9ooyan @ December 17,2009 works with wireless mouse dongle
I bought this because my 70$ logitech VX mouse, which I love, was super laggy (almost to the point of being garbage) if it was not right up close to the dongle. for 3$, I bought this cable, thinking I'ld try one last time to salvage such a nice mouse. plug-n-play on Windows 7 x64, now my dongle is up on my desk and my mouse works perfectly. would highly recommend something like this for someone frustrated with the crappy wireless connection of an otherwise superbly designed mouse.
Paul Barwick "Paul i @ August 5,2009 Great Price - Quick Shipping
I wish that I had learned about the great prices on cables like this through Amazon long ago. I kick myself for wasting so much money in the past by going to the local B*** B** store. That big electronics chain charges over $20 for cables like this, compared to less than $3 here. The cables got to me two days after I ordered them. Kudos to Amazon and to their partner, YourCableStore.
ju @ February 26,2010 Cables didn't work for me
I bought 2 cables to extend from my CPU to 2 flash drives. My flash drives work great when plugged directly into the CPU or when plugged into more expensive cables I already have, but don't work when using these cables. One cable worked for a day, then quit. The other cable didn't work at all. Cmple promptly sent a replacement. The replacement worked once, then stopped working. Then Cmple promptly sent me a complete refund. Cmple was excellent to deal with, but the product was worthless.
Sung Jo @ January 9,2012 Not able to charge
this extension cable works for mouse/keyboard control but not able to charge power at all (cell phone, tablet) Please do not buy this.
Mr. Review x2 @ January 1,2012 Works Well...Cord Thin
The cable is just the right length for many of my needs. The cord, however, is thinner than when I bought this cable a year ago. This could be an issue if the cable is moved frequently, for example an extension for a cell phone charger. For the price, I am not really concerned about the thickness, as I could just buy a new one if this one breaks. If you are looking for a cheap, functional cable, this makes a great choice.
Ghost Venom @ October 9,2011 Excellent!
I bought 2 of these to use as wireless USB adapter ports. I ran the 6 foot cord with adapter to the window ledge, I was getting a poor signal when plugged into computer, But with these plugged in the signal shot up significantly, Has many other uses also I'm sure, but works great if you need to relocate wireless USB adapter away from computer to a more optimal location. Terrific investment for such a low price!
Ken @ April 16,2011 3/5 cheap and often useless
The nice thing about this product was it was cheap, and got to me fast the bad is it is a slow connection. I have been using it in combination with a high speed hub and the two together run in slow motion. At some points this equipment will recognize my external drives and usb devices and other times it wont.
Spite the constant problems I give this product a 3/5 cause its your typical Chinese crap you can get cheap on amazon.

Russell Knash @ March 26,2011 Works Great on my Xbox
I bought 4 of these to use with my Xbox 360 and they work great. No problems what so ever.
John Ciriello "Check @ February 25,2011 Very durable
For a 2 dollar cable you wouldn't expect much quality, you'd be wrong.
This cable is quite thick and seems very durable, been using it for a week or two and loving it. I use it as an extender for a wired rockband guitar on the Xbox360 and it works great for that. I also use it as an extender for my phone charger, carries the current very well. I see some bad reviews for this product and I don't know where they are coming from, there isn't much that can go wrong with a usb extender its just wire, and the material this extender is made of is extremely high quality.
6 Feet is longer than you think, so if you need an extender I would definitely consider this one.

S. Pflyuk @ January 15,2011 It is worth every penny, but it is a white cord with a black label!
Great item if you look for functionality. Were you to be concerned with the color - be aware! I needed black to match the rest of my home office set up. It took only extra 5-10 minutes to wrap it into black electric tape.
R. Bradley "RBradley @ November 26,2010 DIDN'T WORK FOR MAKING A WEB CAM CABLE LONGER
I DONT KNOW WHY. BUT GOOD SELLER. THEY WHERE FINE AND FAST. I JUST DIDN'T WORK FOR A WEB CAM
JChandler @ November 17,2010 Good product
I have a 4 port USB connecting device so I can plug in my keyboard, speakers, printer, and hard drive all at once. I purchased this item so I could eliminate the USB plugs/cords that ran across my desk. With the extension cable I can now hide the cords behind my desk. It works perfectly!
R. Vaughn @ February 14,2010 A+
I needed an extension for my printer and this cord works perfectly. It's inexpensive too so that's a bonus!
S. Pan @ February 10,2010 it cant be wrong at this price
I use this extension cable for my wireless mouse, it keeps me in the range. Great product at fair price. works just fine
Edward Mulligan @ January 13,2010 3 dollars for 6 feet
The price is great, and the cables work. I'm using the cables as an extension cord for charging a playstation 3 controller from the console. It connects to the playstation 3 and charges the controller without any problems. I'm buying a second pair for my mouse.
JesusFreak @ January 24,2012 Great little cable!
This cable came fairly fast and has been used for about 5 months now and I have had no issues! Sell is great as well!
cookie monster @ January 22,2012 Great
This USB extension cable type A male to type A female 6ft cable works great and is great price for it.
NYSkier @ January 16,2012 Works as expected
This is a pretty basic item so not much to say. The supplier shipped quickly and the item arrived on time and is as described. Seems to be well made and it works just fine,
Brian @ January 15,2012 usb extension cable
Super fast free shipping. Great poduct. Wil highly recommend to anyone needing a usb cable. Used for Droid Razr Phone extention. Thanks Brian.
Essensia @ January 9,2012 USB Extension
This usb extension worked great with my printer since I needed a few extra feet. Great for the price compared to what you would pay in the store.
George J. Prybyla "G @ January 7,2012 usb extention cord
Very Fast Deli. It was just what I wanted, works very good. I would buy this product again. Thanks again
Jordon @ January 6,2012 Great deal
You can always find a use for these things. Mine has been used to extend the cables of my printer, keyboard, usb hub, and midi keyboard. Now I use it to extend my Xbox controller cable when it's charging. Just buy one already.
Henry D. Akin @ January 4,2012 USB Extention Cable
This item was purchased to allow me to interface my computer with m amatuer radio and yet let me place it a greater distantance from my computer.
Mike @ January 4,2012 I would get another one.
I've had this cord for over a year. It hasn't frayed, fallen apart, for split. It works with my iPod touch 4G's USB cord (some people say it doesn't).
