Great extension cord
I purchased this for an under cabinet light I installed under a shelf unit. The cord on the light was too short to reach the plug in and had a USB port. It attached and works great!

Works as expected, seems like good quality
Using this to power a bird fountain (around 2 watts) so not a heavy load. Connectors fit well and thus far seems like a good product overall.

Works well but…
Worked great at first but now my cable doesn’t identify as male or female. At this point I’m not sure what end I should plug into what and I’m to afraid to ask in fear I might offend someone.

Quality cable, length, power requirements and,..
when installing some new exterior video cams i had one cable wasn’t long enough to get it where i wanted it to be mounted. as i’d used the old extension i had on hand with an existing cam and that worked great. consequently why i went ahead and ordered this onethe cable itself appears well made, no obvious issues. as to how well it works? just fine with absolutely no issues but a caveat for some users in regards to hardware limitations for usb power delivery which applies to all usb cables.so before posting this feedback i noticed one reviewer who politely dinged the cable saying it was a power vampire in a manner of speaking? when it comes to power & usb sources cable length matters. usb 2 stubbornly remains the most common type of usb power sources but provide only a trickle of power.in my experience when going beyond approx. 15′ you need a usb power source with more power than you could use with something shorter in length. by ‘the book’ USB 2.0 spec limits the length of cables to 16’ 5”. USB 3 has a limit of 30 meters or approx. 98’ 5” e.g. 6x the distance. So without using additional hardware in the mix the cables, this extension, our expectations for its use needs keep in mind design limitations. the total distance matters not just the length of the extension cable.most recent example when hooking up exterior cams one using the manufacturers power supply total length at 26′ and the cam wouldn’t function. i then swapped it out with a more powerful amazon echo usb plug and all worked fine. i performed the same test on another and had to do the same swap to get it function. all of those cams worked using their stock power supplies when used with shorter cables(10′) that came with. i have gone through this in the past, having learned the hard way when managing the installation of our town’s new systems as well as in my own office/home. to reiterate a usb 3 port averages 7 watts, a ‘regular’ usb 2 port puts out at most 2.5 watts. also why you on some pc’s you can only charge devices using the designated usb 3 port not the other slower usb 2 ports.so in this instance what the one reviewer missed in regards to power delivery with this or any usb extension cable is that how much power going in matters as much or more so than the cable length,in total, used to move it from point a to point b.all said i would not hesitate to purchase another of these extension cords. IF however i needed this primarily for transferring data i would then need to get a usb 3 cable, those have different male ends as well as internal difference. but again only if data was my priority not power.

More length
I needed extra length for a USB power supply to run to an outdoor Wi-Fi camera. So, I just needed it for power, not for data. This did the trick. It was a simple way to extend the USB cable to the camera. It works great.

Slow but cheap USB extension cables
These USB extension cables are slow (USB 2.0 speeds) but cheap (I got a 3 pack of these cables for under $5 total). For applications where you don’t need high USB speeds, these are excellent extension cables.For example, I used one of these cables to hook up a small USB fan to a “USB charger” that was a little further away. Since I’m only using the cable to pass power (i.e. to extend the reach to a “charger”), speed of the cable is not important to me. As such, this extension easily meets my needs, while being a lot less expensive than other (higher speed) cables I could have also bought/used.Of course, for applications where USB speeds matter I go with (more costly) higher end USB cables. For example, I make sure I use at least USB 3.0 rated cables for any applications where I’m interfacing to an external disk drive (or even interfacing to my USB headset). However, some of my applications really are not sensitive to cable speed, so for those “lower speed” applications I may instead choose to use these “cheaper to buy” cables.

Who wouldn’t like 3 more feet?
Needed this to reach an outlet for my Blink security camera. It was the perfect length and transmits USB’s perfectly. Seriously though, no issue with pouring my camera. Haven’t used it for anything else so I cannot attest to that.

Works well as a charging cable
Cables are sometimes frustrating part of our use of devices. if attached to the device, and Las include the on/off switch there is no choice but to but an extension if a longer length is needed. Fortunately extensions are inexpensive, especially if only used for power. This is a good length for the price.

No latency or anything like that. It’s just like the original cord is longer. Just how it should be

Useful
These are handy dandy for a lot of things. For instance, you might have a bed where the bed only has an outlet on one side but you and your partner both like to charge your phones while you sleep. I just run one of these under the bed along the headboard and plug in the phone charger on the other side. Same thing with my watch charger. And if you’re like me and use your phone to read while you’re in bed, this is great because then it’s easy to turn or change position without ever having to hold a short charger cable at an awkward angle. I’ve also used them for some other basic things but keep in mind what you’re getting is a usb 2.0 cable. It will NOT be able to handle a lot of data throughput and you shouldn’t expect it to, it isn’t made for that. If you need that then spend more money on a 3.0 cable or something else.

Problem Solved
I needed a long extension cable for my printer because it was on the other side of my room. Yes it’s wireless but without it connected to the computer 💻 it wouldn’t scan. So I connected it and ran the cable underneath my bed 🛌 it’s not even noticeable.☺️☺️ Happy Camper

Low resistance for high power
I got two of the 1.5 ft extension, I use them to extend from a port on a charger in the back of a cabinet, and also occasionally to extend a usb power meter when testing.I had a couple cheap usb extension cables (that came included with a wireless mouse dongle and a wifi dongle), and tried to use one to extend a charging port from a hub in the back of a cabinet, and had issues. A USB power meter confirmed that there was too much voltage drop when the device was drawing 2A. I needed some cables with much lower resistance. Cables with fatter conductors will have less resistance, or cables which are simply shorter. So, these 1.5 ft extensions with 24 AWG power wires should be great for this use case, and they are!I observe about 100 to 150 milli-ohms resistance, across gnd and vcc wires together (so about 60 to 70 milli-ohms each I guess, and some variation for the plug and device I’m testing with).

Awesome product
These are awesome to have spare or to just use because you can use them on everything I can connect a 15 foot charger and I’ve got 25 feet if cable I can walk to my bathroom without having to ever disconnect from charger lol. Also allows you to place other hardware or speakers you name it in any place you want that way not everything’s all packed in one place making it hot or just cluttering up the space. As mentioned earlier I like them and they have performed flawlessly for what the month of constant daily use now without any issues and the ability to lay in my king size bed with a charging cord long enough for me to fall asleep to is a nice thing to have. So in overall for the time and price I got 3 for 10$ I’m more then satisfied with them
