Don't pay $25.00 at Staples or Circuit City for this cable to attach your new printer to your computer. It's insulting enough that the manufacturer's no longer include a cable so that you are ready to print 'out of the box', claiming that new printers provide several ways to print including ethernet, wireless, and USB. Give us a break. So you are either stuck buying the cable they offer, which is priced 10 times what it needs to be, or you can plan ahead and order the exact same thing for 1/10th the cost, without the name brand. All cables are made by the same few companies, and are branded for retail outlets. They are made of the same materials, there's not much to add, unless you want gold-plated or a Monster cable. Save your money. This has been working perfectly for six months. The 10 foot length is perfect when you need to set the printer up a little further away from your desk, sometimes the 6' length doesn't give you the flexibility to reach a desktop sitting on the floor, to a printer placed on a top shelf of a computer desk hutch (found that out the hard way!). Fast service from this company, no complaints.

They are USB cables and they are 10ft long and they work properly for my printer. What more do you want. This isn't a sexy product. They do what they are supposed to do just fine.

USB did not work, it was not a recognizable USB. The seller gave me a credit on my account & did not require me to return item, so I threw it away.

"Ordered a printer USB 2.0 cable from Cmple and it did not work, my printer would not print. I kept getting a pop up on my computer saying it did not recognize the USB connection from this cable. Put my old cable cable back and the printer worked just fine. Contacted Cmple and they said they would refund my money. It also took a long time to receive this cable after I ordered it. Be careful when ordering these low priced cables.

I have bought Cables to Go cables for years - excellent quality at an excellent price. I purchased three cables (supposedly Cables to Go)from Marginmart fullfilled by Amazon; a 2m white USB A-B, a 3m white USB A-B, and a USB mini cable.

The 2m cable is great, no complaints (it might even be the real thing). I knew I had a problem as soon as I opened the 3m cable - not white, but grey. The two cables were supposedly identical, except for the length, but they look totally different, even different connectors on the ends. The wire on the 3m cable is about 1/2 the thickness of the 2m cable (same product, longer cable = smaller cable? I don't think so). I tried hooking it up to my printer and immediately started getting printer errors.

I then tried the USB mini which I bought for a backup HD. As soon as I plugged it in the HD started making beeping noises I have never heard before, then refused to mount. Hmmm...

Based on past experience with Cables to Go, the junk I received is NOT their product, but a super cheap knock-off. Beware this vendor - this is not legitimate stuff.

I bought this thinking "what the heck, how bad can a cheap cable be?". The cable worked for about 5 days, then suddenly didn't. Sure, I could send it back or request a new one, but for what I paid, it wouldn't be worth my time. You get what you pay for.

I bought these to use as printer cables. I plugged this cable into a brand new HP OfficeJet 6500A AiO printer. Prints ok, but refuses to scan. I try a different brand 6' cable. Everything works fine. I try the other 2 Cables To Go 13400's that I bought. Exactly the same failure.

Bought one about a year ago and it went bad within a year....the second cable worked for a week and now doesn't work....Very pour quality...

A shorter cable worked with my printer -- this one did not. Useless cable from my point of view. Might work with other devices... but not with my (Brother) printer. Will have to find another cable. Would give 0 star if I could.

It simply did not work. I tested it against a shorter cable (the one I was trying to replace with this one), and the shorter cable worked. This one did not. Buy a cable with a company name on it, like Belkin etc. They're more likely to be QA'd properly, at least since the company's brand would suffer if they failed to work.

I would exchange this cable, but the equipment setup it was originally supposed to be used with was delayed in its implementation by several months. My seller has a 30-day return/exchange policy. Lesson: Verify functional integrity of all purchases upon receipt, even if they won't be used immediately.

One final note: This product has much thinner contact strips on the interior of its B-plug (the one that goes into the printer) than the same strips on the interior of my working cable's B-plug. Bad manufacturing? You decide.
