    Bought this due to my wireless connection between my quest 2 and my PC lacking and causing latency issues. This cable solved that problem and now me and my kids can enjoy playing SteamVR games without any kind of lag.

    Great product. Just keep in mind that you have to plug it in to make it “active”. So plan you’re play area accordingly

    Se dura nel tempo sar il tempo a dircelo. Intendo che io l’ho passato e non subisce usure di nessun tipo da sfregamento o da attacca-stacca, ma bens sono preoccupato per il chip interno che compie un lavoro e dalla sua durata nel tempo. Al momento ottimo.

    I use this single 10m cable to run my telescope, mount, imaging camera (ZWO ASI2600mc), guide camera and focuser through my pc. I was concerned that a bad cable would limit the functionality of all the equipment, but it all works perfectly through this cable. It has never lost connection and the transfer of (quite large) image files is fast.
    The cable itself is really sturdy and the plugs feel solid. I’ve left it running for over 8 hours on several occasions in the damp and cold with no issues.

    Works perfectly but I worried about the 140 degree F. connection at
    the back of my remote monitor so I have a computer case fan on it. Is the
    hot connection even normal?! I am so happy to have the third mac
    monitor in the next room in my studio that I can live with the trouble
    but what the heck is up with the hot end?

    I didn’t try it with USB3 devices, but for our USB2 webcam, this cable really do the job. The only thing who could be upgraded, is the extra power adapter could be on the computer side and not the device size. We don’t have a power outlet near our device.

    Tested this 10m USB extension cable leading into a 4port usb hub. I connected my Wacom Cintiq and a high resolution headphone DAC. It works flawlessly for playback (even Master tracks from Tidal, the max bandwidth I can throw at my DAC) while drawing on the Wacom Cintiq. no noticable lag, stuttering or anything else to spoil the experience.

    This cable does have the two signal boosters per Microsoft SDK’s USB debugging tool usbview. However, the boosters are really bulky and does not fit my existing cable management tracks. Take a good look at the product photos for how large they are. Other brands can do a much slimmer job.

    Using this cable to add a hub with gamin peripherals so can game on the lounge bigscreen.

    An older USB 3.0 hub did not work properly with this cable. But a modern USB 3 hub works perfect.

    USB is a nightmare in all fairness, ever since Microsoft pushed it back in the days, countless issues from the early Windows XP days to today and Windows 11. From chipset to CPU to hubs to cables, can be a nightmare.

    Thankfully Amazon’s legally responsible customer focused returns facilities enable us to get it right. All things are never going to be stable in the world of USB, it is just the way it is, it is a royal mess and will continue to be so once we move into the USB 4 territory. Firewire definitely had an advantage in that department, but just like VHS vs Betamax, the cheaper standard won and now we’re plagued with the side-effects of its cheapness.

    Anyhow, going back to this cable, this cable works by emulating ‘hubs’, 2 to be precise, so be aware that Windows only tends to allow you to chain a certain number of hubs. In my usecase it is just the one hub on the end of this cable directly from the motherboard USB port (which is in itself a hub port, ie. two usb gang ports on the motherboard are together a ‘hub’, again, keep this in mind, for the count of hubs tends to start from the motherboard in most typical consumer board cases).

    It is a thick cable, strong outer sheath, not sure what kind of pvc/rubber combo it is, but definitely not the cheaper stuff. The hubs on the cable are sealed by what looks like either a combination of glue or sonic sealing, ie no screws to open things.

    The cable I think also is shielded internally, as I have it running along powerlines and other high-attenuation cables, and thus far no interference.

    The devices I currently have running on the hub attached to the end of this cable are a Logitech G604 wireless lightspeed dongle, a Logitech G915 wireless lightspeed dongle and an Xbox One Wireless Adapter.

    For peace of mind I also tested a USB ssd (one attached to my TV for extra storage, a Samsung 850 Pro), speed was roughly on par with being connected directly to PC. Latency is also very good. Nice.

    All in all a great cable, as long as you keep the chained-hubs-count in mind, you really can’t get a better quality and reliably functional cable. Alxum are a reputable brand, well known for making solid gear for both the PC and Apple universes.

    Hope the above was useful, a real-life usecase, not just a typical ‘plugged it in and it switched on’.

    We are using this to connect a streaming camera in our church to a laptop so we can zoom our church service to those who cannot make it out to the service. For the camera to be close enough to the front I needed a long usb to reach up the wall, over the ceiling and back down another wall to where the laptop will be. This does exactly what we need without having to spend hundred of pounds on cabling.

    We have had this 50 foot cable for only a few days so cannot comment on durability. It seems solidly made, and unlike other USB extenders we have tried it really does provide a stable 4K video signal.

    The cable itself is thick and stiff, and the connectors at each end and in the middle are bulky. We found it difficult to install in our cable channel. We had to cut openings for each thick connector.

    We are using it with a high wall-mounted camera that is powered by the USB connection. The natural way to connect it is to plug the camera’s own 6 foot USB3 cable into the female end of the powered cable, and plug the male end of the cable into the laptop. That works well with the laptop providing USB power. But we would rather use the cable’s own power adapter to reduce load on the laptop. It is not practical to provide 110 volts for the cable’s power adapter up on the wall with the camera. So if we want to use the cable’s power adapter we have to reverse the cable and add a double-female adapter at the camera end and a double-male adapter at the laptop end. More connectors would mean less reliability and likely some signal loss. Not ideal but the big thing is that it really does deliver the video.

    Ich habe diese Verlngerung gekauft weil Junior eine Gamingtastatur fr seine Ps5 zu Weihnachten bekommen hat. Da wir uns bewusst fr eine Tastatur mit Kabel entschieden haben ,aufgrund des Batterieverbrauchs ,mussten wir leider feststellen das das Kabel nicht lang genug war um bequem auf der Couch zu sitzen und zu spielen, und vom Boden immer hoch gucken war auf dauer keine Option. Also musste ne Verlngerung her.

    Die Kabellnge ist mit 4,50m vllig ausreichend und die Verarbeitung macht einen sehr hochwertigen und stabilen Eindruck.

    ber die Haltbarkeit kann ich leider noch nichts sagen das wir das noch nicht lange im Gebrauch haben.
    Aber da wird nach einer Weile (und wenn ich dran denke) ein Update gemacht.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersCable works fine, but not for my application. I run a multi (5) webcam OBS streaming for live music. Currently cameras are tethered to host computer by a max of ~10 ft of cable using 8′ USB3 extension cables with re-driver and everything works OK. I can delay video sync in OBS to a comfortable 100-200ms to sync all the cameras. However, when I introduced this cable to reach a backstage placed camera, I experience over 1200ms of delay which is not acceptable (yes PS was used at slave). This cable would appear to work well for just a basic USB extension for a security camera or standalone connection where sync or latency is not an issue.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI’ve been having issues with battery drain using Oculus link. Normally battery loss is minimal enough to where I can use the Quest without worrying about battery life. BUT if I use Oculus Debug to boost the ‘Pixels Per Display Pixel Override’ setting to 1.8 or higher, the battery would drain fairly quickly. I could only use the headset for about 4 hours or less which was a huge bummer. I wasn’t sure if this product would actually work to charge my quest quickly AND use Oculus Link with my resolution increase BUT thankfully now I can boost resolutions to my heart’s content and use it for virtually as long as I want. Without this product my Quest 2 would drain from 100% to >50% battery after 2 hours of usage(using link and USB 3.0). Now it only drains from 100% to >90% of 2 hours of usage (with PPDPO set to 1.9) Expensive but worth it if you don’t have a motherboard than can fast charge a quest 2!

    I tried this with many devices and generally it works quite well, the cable is super long but has a tendency to get wrapped/tangled up in other cables. I recommend taking you time with its placement to prevent any frustration installing it, once in that it just use it.

    Tried quite a few devices and all worked fine bar external hard drives that required extra power, which means it is not giving the required power it states it does, but everything else work good.
    Can be a really nice way to bring a hard to get at back USB socket much closer to you.

    For those unaware – USB 3.0 has a cable length limitation which will reduce communication speed if it is exceeded. This cable allows a much longer extension by strengthening that signal through active circuitry. This is perfect, especially for the Oculus which will not always be close to your PC or TV screen. I have used this with an external SSD and experienced no issues. Tha cable is good quality and should be long lasting.

    It arrives in a banded box, on opening your meet with an amazing cable of high quality. The cable is really nice and thick with a rubber coating allowing for durability. It is a really good length allowing to use items in other parts of the room. The input/ output ends are really well made and are solid, the female end is well built and extremely strong and durable, there is a 5v power inlet this is for when your using Oculus Rift S headset to ensure stable use. Mine is used to power a usb hub the other side of the room which powers my mic and webcam for streaming

    At 20.69 (at time of review) its not the cheapest however for the quality and strength i would really recommend this cable

    Amazing

    I was not expecting a lead this thick, it’s a very thick lead and really well made, this means it will be both durable and long lasting. It almost feels like a plug extension in it’s construction.
    I have been using it for hiding away a USB hub behind my desk which had a very short lead itself. I have also tried the lead with different USB sticks and a microphone, just to try different types of devices with it. All have worked well.
    As soon as you connect the device to the computer there is a little light on the input part of the lead that lights up to show you have a connection, if I had to pick a fault it would be that there is no light to tell you that you have a device connected, just that the lead itself is connected to the computer.
    The input and output connector ends are really solid and well made, they connect to the lead really nicely with cover over where they connect.
    I think this is a really good lead, maybe overkill in its size and construction for the job, but it will withstand a lot of wear and tear. It’s well made, works with everything iv thrown at it and does it well. It’s not cheap but if you need a well constructed and fast 5 meter extension lead this will fit the bill very nicely.

    A seriously thick and well made USB extension lead

    This is a long lead, but despite the high price and supposedly high quality wiring, still has limitations.

    The cable itself is rather well made. The USB A male end is nothing special, just a pretty good connector. The female end is a lot bulkier. It’s encapsulated in metal and pretty robust, but has a hole for a 5V supply. This is because devices that draw power from the USB line may find the voltage has dropped a bit over the 5m run. This really shouldn’t be a problem using thicker wire, but it appears there’s only so thick a cable people are prepared to use.

    There are no instructions as to what connector the 5V supply should be, but I assume if you’ve an Oculus Rift you may know. It worked well using a USB memory stick and connecting to an external hard disk that had it’s own supply. I could even heat up some warming pads that use a USB connector for the supply (when connected to a wall plug). I can only assume that it’s just devices requiring power from a computer USB socket that will have issues.

    Good but you may need a power supply with it.

    This is a good length for most things you will need a USB extension for. It is very good quality and the cable is thick and well protected. The ‘connector’ is aluminium. The cable and connectors feel like really good quality. It works very well. This is really good quality robust USB extension cable that is fast and will last a long time. Well pleased.
