USB Extenders, who knew?!
by Travis M. (5 out of 5 stars)

As an IT engineer, I've known since the late 90s that USB had cable length limitations of 5 meters / 16.4 feet. Enter my 2019 challenge of needing USB cable that's significantly longer - and without pesky USB hubs in the middle.

This cable was perfect for what I needed and it has been consistently reliable. It's running from my Network/AV closet, into the attic, and down a wall to the living room. On that side of the cable is a Plugable USB 2.0 Hub. Attached to that Hub is an Xbox Wireless Adapter for Win10 and a Plugable Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter. This gives me the ability to do work on my PC (let's face it, I did it so I could play PC games) from the living room while keeping the equipment out of sight in a properly ventilated closet.

I did give pause to consider a USB 3.0 extension cable, however none of the devices I'm using are USB 3.0, and I was unable to justify the jump in cost for "future proofing" .. what amounts to Bluetooth & Xbox behind a wall. 2.0 is still going to be around for a very long time and considering my use case, it was the sensible and cost-conscious way to go.

Here's what I have attached to the cable - since it worked out great for me:

This product is a life saver!!!

This came in very handy for my home security system. My genious installer mounted my camera system dvr in the attic, with custom cooling fans. He ran a 50ft hdmi and this extra long usb cable to my bedroom hdtv. This allowed me to use a wireless mouse in my bedroom to control the camera system. Best part is if a thief breaks in, they are never going to find the dvr. Lol. Thanks Amazon for such a great quality product

Works great for wireless headphone range extension.
by Christopher Hustig (5 out of 5 stars)

I bought this to extend the range of the wireless headphones that I use with my desktop PC in my spare room. They used to cut out right in front of the refrigerator 15 feet away down the hall. With this, I was able to relocate the dongle at the end of the hallway near the fridge. Now my headphones work everywhere in my old, small two-bedroom house. I am very satisfied with the results.

I chose this one in particular because the cable was black, rather than transparent/translucent. Also, I figured customer service would be easy with and AmazonBasics product.

Trouble With Connection - Possibly Cable Length Issue
by randumtasx (3 out of 5 stars)

I used this cable to connect an Ant+ dongle to my computer and recieve signal from an external device. While my cable was able to make an initial connection to the external device, the computer continuously dropped the signal whereas there were not drops when the ant dongle was plugged directly to the computer. I suspect this is either an issue with the cable itself, though have had only good experiences with Amazon Basics products, or the sheer 32 ft length, despite being active, was not strong enough to carry the signal. Either way, not a knock on Amazon Basics, but would review your usage requirements since this cable may not do the job.

This isn't supposed to work, yet it does!
by Aaron (5 out of 5 stars)

This cable isn't supposed to work. Per the USB spec, I should need a hub every 5m to not break the propagation delay limit. But here I am with a 10m cable driving my Schiit Modi (audio DAC) from my Macbook all the way on the other side of the room with absolutely no issues. I'm guessing that there's a simple hub at the Rx end of the cable. The cable also looks pretty good. It's relatively thin and flexible. I haven't done any testing to determine just how good this is or just how non-compliant the cable is, but for my application, it works like a charm. I'm also blown away by the ($15) price! Well done Amazon!

Works Great
by Steve (5 out of 5 stars)

I used this to extend the Bluetooth range on my PC. I had a USB Bluetooth dongle that was plugged in to my desktop located in a closet as part of my A/V system. I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse and keyboard that worked only intermittently. They were in my media room about 20 feet from the PC.

By using this USB extension cable, I could plug in into the PC and then put the Bluetooth dongle in the end of it and then bring it closer to my work area. It is still in the closet, but about 15 feet closer to where I work. Everything works great!

No real issues with wireless mouse.

We wanted to have our security camera feed shown in the kitchen on a wall mounted monitor. However the computer pulling the feeds was located in the data room. Out of range of a wireless mouse. Using this adapter I was able to pull the wire through the wall and hide the Logitech receiver behind the monitor so now its almost like the computer is in the same space. A great upgrade versus just leaving the screens split a user can switch feeds and playback video.

Works for remote PC gaming!

Using this for a soundbot Bluetooth adapter for game controllers and it works great. Ran this along with an HDMI for PC games, couldn't handle the compression and lag from local streaming luckily this didn't add any noticeable input lag.

Leary of AmazonBasics? Don't be, this cable is quality
by islandsound (5 out of 5 stars)

I have been using AmazonBasics products for awhile now and so far they have been great, this cable is no different. I had a situation where I needed to run my computer into an external DAC and tried this for that purpose. Works as it should and was a great price for the quality. Amazon is taking over the world!!!

I moved a laptop that had an attached webcam away from its previous site and it was too far from the webcam even with powered hubs. Even though the product description said it wasn't recommended for webcams, a previous review said it worked for them so I thought I'd try it. Boom. Instant webcam! I am very pleased that it worked.
