This cable was perfect size, promptly shipped, reasonably priced and does the job intended. I needed a short USB cable extension to hook my Flip video camcorder into my desktop USB ports, without risking breaking the USB arm on the Flip itself. Would buy again if needed.
I bought this to use with my devices that have a proprietary connection such as my MP3 and cell phone that I only connect occasionally so I do not have to keep changing cables all the time. The description does not state that it is USB 2.0 compatible and it does not work with every device. It works with the MP3 but not the cell phone.
So I'm using a shorter 6-Inch USB Extension Cable with my Flip camera. Got access to the drive on the Flip and also fully charged the rechargeable battery on the Flip UltraHD. When I previously tried this 3-Foot (1-Meter) USB extension cable with my Flip UtraHD camcorder but was unsuccessful, that was when plugging the cable into the USB port on my macbook. 3, 2010: I got this cable working with my Flip UltraHD when I connected this 3-Foot (1-Meter) USB Extension cable to a USB add-on pci card that I installed on the motherboard of my sister's desktop computer.
Anyways, I'm getting another one of these cables since I gave the one I had to my sister for her desktop computer. I guess it could be hit or miss. Go figure. I'm using this USB extension cable to connect to the cable for a scanner and it works. I tried this extension cable with my Flip UltraHD camcorder, but it didn't work for me. Update Jan. I guess the USB add-on pci card that I installed on the motherboard had more power.
Your results may vary because I've also seen problems with USB ports on other desktop PCs when trying to connect to other devices. This is a good buy that I got from VORTEX CABLE who sold the cable here on Amazon. Anyways, I'm planning on getting another one of these longer 3-Foot (1-Meter) USB extension cables because I think I could always use another one. But the desktop PC in this particular situation had better success.
This was exactly what I wanted - I needed an extension cable so I got one.
My USB ports are not easily accessible and the cable brings them connection to me. This works fine for me. I like it and use it daily, sometimes several times a day.
