Amazon Vine Review
(What's this?)
This is a very simple item which is designed to give you an extension to your USB cables. I use a wheelchair and my base unit is close to the floor and I cannot reach down that low to plug my ipod and camera in, so this has been a lifesaver and has prevented me from having to bend down. So many products come with short USB cables and this fixes that problem without slowing down the connection.
This is well made and looks like it will stand the test of time. I am VERY pleased with my lead and recommend it to anyone who is struggling with the ever increasing number of products with ridiculously short cables!

I bought this cable for use with a T-Mobile broadband dongle: it does not work for this purpose! I can only assume that the cable is not sufficiently shielded or the voltage drop is too great for this use. So I instead purchased a different (longer, 5m!) USB extension cable, also via Amazon, that turns out to work perfectly for what I need. You can find this alternative listed as: "USB A male to A Female Extension Cable 5m" by CDL Micro.

(What's this?)
I was a bit dubious about this product given that it was an Amazon own-brand but was pleasantly surprised with it.
It was well packaged and for those who are "green" it cuts down on a lot of extra waste. For those who are more focused on just getting to the product, I was delighted that there wasn't any difficult blister pack or vacuum packaging requiring excessive and needless time and effort just to get into.
The product is also great. It may be slightly more expensive that supermarket basic ranges but it far surpasses them on quality. The cable itself is well made, sturdy and has good connectors so I cannot see people have any picture quality issues. It is also a decent length cable which allows users to have their USB devices where they want rather then being restricted by the often miserly length most products are now supplied with.
All-in-all, this is a great all round product and definitely worth considering if you need an USB extension cable.

I had hoped I could use this extension cable to charge up my Kindle Fire at the same time as using it instead of relying on the titchy cable supplied by Amazon. However the charging ability drops substantially with this extension cable plugged in.
Works fine for transferring data but look elsewhere for a charger extension...

I made the assumption that I would be able to use this cable as an extension for charging my mobile phone (Galaxy S3) since the charger is USB based. It seems that the voltage drop is too much and thus won't carry enough current to charge my phone.
Works great for a data, not for charging.

This USB extension lead does part of the job I wanted it for (extending the miserly 1m lead that comes with a Samsung Galaxy Tab) admirably, so I no longer find myself accidentally unplugging my tablet from its charger. It's a basic black lead - but Amazon did still manage to integrate their logo twice over.
However, the male ends of device leads don't seem to plug fully into the female end of this - leaving about 5mm of metal exposed when pushed in as tightly as they will go. I don't know if it's this gap or the simple fact of the extension cord being present but there is some drop in power vs using the mains lead directly. Whilst the extension presents no problems for charging my tablet, not enough power gets through to allow my Samsung keyboard dock (which uses the tablet's charger lead as its power supply) to work.

I've just received my 3 metre USB extension lead and am very impressed. Don't let the Amazon 'basics' name fool you, this product is seriously good quality.
I opted for the Amazon version over those made by other manufacturers as the female socket has its own plastic casing, cheaper versions have the metal connector exposed which led me to question how long such a version would stand up to being bashed about a bit - traveling in my laptop bag. No such worries with the Amazon version.
I'm currently using the lead plugged into the back of my desktop computer, with my Microsoft wired USB mouse attached to it. It's functioning as normal, so the lead clearly works well.
Buy with confidence!

Charge your tablet where you are
Great value, solid build and works - lets me charge my tablet while I use it in my armchair - just plug the lead into a charger.

Almost great
It is good for using when recharging my ipad, with ipad switched off. However it doesn't charge it if I'm actually using the ipad at the same time, which is rather disappointing. Read more

I use this to extend the short usb cable that came with my iPad. It works really well, doesn't effect the charging time and the delivery was fast.

Broke after very little use
Within around two weeks of me receiving it, the cable stopped working. At first I thought it was the USB Wireless that was plugged into it that was broken. Read more
