The issue is I needed a high quality item. I am using this for a car computer that cannot be plugged in when I am on base. So every time I drive up to the security gate I need to unplug it. But if it's low quality signal, the car computer will not work.
This particular brand of product is used by department of defense IT computers. I have known it to be a high quality item so I spent the extra money to buy this version versus some of the cheaper offerings that Amazon has and I wasn't disappointed. This thing is fantastic and it's working as I intended. I feel comfortable recommending this brand of cables all around to anyone as they have never failed on me even when abused.
If you need a short USB-A extension, this is a great product for the price!
Design:
The Blue Shell provides protection for the cable and is sturdy. When I attempted to house it in the bottom of the monitor stand it protruded from the front.
Works appropriately when connected to the main computer.
Item functions as intended but is not recommended if you want it to sit flush under the HNDS6.
I was a little worried that the plastic extending around the female end before I ordered; I thought it might prevent some devices from being fully plugged in. I am happy to report however that I have had no issues plugging in any USB drives or other devices.
In addition do being as advertised and working correctly, it is definitely constructed a step above your average cable. The plastic molding on the ends is thick and feels well made. The female end especially would provide good resistance to being stepped on over other extension cables with bare ends. This isn't of concern to me, but it's good to feel like the product is robust. In addition to the ends the cable its self seems sturdy and thicker than most "cheap" cables.
I would, however, expect this cable to be well made, and this brings me to my only con: the price. At the time of purchase this cable costs slightly more than a 10 foot Amazon Basics USB 3.0 extension cable. When you consider this cable cost more than one 20 times longer, the price seems a little high. On the other hand, I'm sure 6" USB cables are in a much lower demand than more typical lengths so the price is somewhat excusable.
In the end it's a matter of a few dollars, though, so I don't consider it a big deal. I bought one to see if it fit my needs, and purchased two more when I decided it did.
The Good:
- Short, flexible cable.
- Dangling dongles won't break when you accidently hit them (or lift a laptop awkwardly).
The Bad:
- You're going to wind up buying one for every dongle you have.
The Meh:
- For the price, I wish they came in 2 packs. But they are WAY cheaper than lost time because your iLok is busted.
