Product Description

This Desktop USB Extension Cable connects to an available USB female port on a Mac or PC computer, allowing you to relocate the USB (female) port up to 5 ft away from the computer case. By extending the USB port away from the computer case, you can situate a USB port from the computer in a more practical spot, such as on top of the computer case or on a desktop. A perfect solution for accessing digital cameras, MP3 players, USB thumb drives or other external USB storage, the Desktop USB Extension Cable is backed by StarTech.com's Lifetime Warranty.

Hey! It's just a cable but, it is weighted just enough to stay put an can overcome any cables "Mind of it'sown" tendacy to coil up and add to the "Rat's Nest" on you desk.

The unit works as expected, but the USB connector on the unit is so tight fitting that I had one memory stick to pull apart when I tried to unplug it. I used an old USB cord to loosen up the connection by inseting it and bending it back and forth. Works better, but is very, very tight.

I bought this to move a Wi-Fi USB to a better location for my network. It is weighted nicely so it sits where you place it. As I have read other reviews it has a very snug fit and may not be best if you want to change the device you have plugged into it often, in my case it works perfect for my Wi-Fi adapter.
