Just add this extension cable for an extra 3.3 feet of convenience. The cable features a Male A connector on one end and a Female A connector on the other.

 Very handy November 17, 2009
ND Buyer (Grand Forks, ND)
I have used my extension cable several times since I received it. It very handy to plug in items such as a flip video camera without having to reach to the back or side of your computer.
Good price, full Amazon support but be aware that this is an EXTENSION cable November 17, 2009

Please be aware that this is NOT a longer USB cable. It is an extension cable with 'Type A' connectors at BOTH ends (male and female) - meaning that this cable will NOT connect 2 devices by itself. It will only work with and extend a 'regular' USB cable that has a 'Type A' male connector at one end. 'Type A' is the type of connector that would normally plug into your computer or laptop USB port.
These being said, I found it quite useful with peripherals that come with permanently attached cables that are not as long as I wish they were. I am using mine with a Logitech Driving Force GT Racing Wheel and with a T-flight Hostas joystick on which we can use a longer cable.
There's not much to say other than everything is done right, including the price. It is USB 2.0 certified and connectors at both ends appear to be gold-plated and solidly built. This is important because, unlike a HDMI cable that you usually plug it in at the back of your equipment and it's likely to stay there, USB cables tend to be plugged in and out many times and this is even more so the case with an extension cable.
While USB cables are clearly a commodity item these days, AmazonBasics cables do have a couple of advantages over the competition.
- EASY RETURN - I know because I had to return quite a few items for various reasons. Amazon makes it very easy and, if you are returning the item because it came defective or damaged Amazon pays for shipping.
- WARRANTY - these wires come with a 1-year warranty.I am highly confident that Amazon will be around to honor its warranty and I'm not so sure about vendors I know less.
- QUALITY ASSURANCE - I've never had any problems with 'cheap' USB or HDMI cables but it may be reassuring to have Amazon's name on a wire. My assumption is that Amazon did insist on some quality checks before they stamped their logo on the product.
- PRICE - This cable may appear more expensive than others but keep in mind that, unlike most, it qualifies for SuperSavers and Amazon Prime free shipping.
I am awarding this item 5 stars for price and quality - there's nothing to complain. There may be better deals out there, pricewise but I decided to go with the Amazon brand in this case for the reasons cited above.
____________________________________
Note:
I ended up using the 9.8 Feet / 3.0 Meters version of this wire because the price difference is insignificant and, if you need it to be shorter, just make a little loop, no big deal but if you get a short wire the only way to extend it is to get yourself an... extension cable :)
The best November 12, 2009
VJ (Irvine, CA)
This is the best USB connector I have ordered. I would recommend to anyone. It has quality and is well built. I will buy it again.
great for the money November 9, 2009
Joshua E. Patrick (trinity, nc)
This adapter worked great to extend my cell phone charger. I also have other adapters of the same brand and they work just as well. Have had these adapters for a while and they still work great!

What can you say. Good quality. Works as advertised. Needed to move my computer to the other side of our desk. This worked perfect for extending some of my shorter USB device cables around the desk's leg.
