SABRENT 22AWG USB 3.0 Extension Cable A Male to A Female [Black] 6 Feet (CB-3060)

I definitely recommend it

Worked very well to connect my old PC to my TV and extend the length of my mouse so I could use my PC with my television! Loved using it while my PC lasted. I’ll probably find another use for it eventually.

I was setting up a USB fingerprint reader to use on my Windows 10 machine, and for this setup I needed a short cable that will go from my HUB to the top of my desk.This cable was the right choice for the job, and worked flawlessly right out of the box without any issues. Compared to some other low quality cables I’ve got in the past, this cable was well packed inside a nice professional looking box, is thick, well build and feels sturdy as well. Not that I will be moving it around a lot, but I thought that this info could be of some use for some other people on here looking for the same kind of cable for other applications.If you enjoyed my review, found it helpful, or just want to offer some encouragement feel free to click that “helpful” button. Thank you. Be well. 🥰

My Netgear USB 3.0 Nighthawk Wireless Adapter’s 3-foot cable was too short for placing the remote cradle where I wanted it. (I was looking for more cable length, not better performance but also no degradation of existing performance.) The cable is molded to the cradle so the only option was an extension cable but literature warns that using another lesser quality cable might affect performance & the Nighthawk cable is noticeable thicker. Netgear does not apparently provide or recommend a longer cable.I chose the Sabrent 3-foot USB 3.0 Super Speed extension cable because I have had good results from other Sabrent products. Gold plated plugs are supposed to be more conductive & braided wrappings are supposed to be preferred for durability & flexibility but for a 3-foot extension cable does that really matter? The Sabrent extension is Not gold plated & the cable covering appears to be the same PVC material as the original nighthawk cable.The Sabrent USB 3.0 extension cable is plenty flexible to route it where I want it to go and, using the performance tool provided by Netgear, attaching the Sabrent extension cable to extend the cable to about 6-feet provided the same Megabits per second and the same signal strength as with the using only the original Nighthawk 3-foot USB 3.0 cable alone. The Sabrent says it uses 22 AWG wire, which I understand to be better than what is usually found in cheaper cables.A quibble with the packing label for the Sabrent extension cable. It’s package label calls it an Active cable. My understanding of Active extension cables is that they boost the signal artificially so that the signal can cover much longer distances & are generally much more costly. This Sabrent is not that type of active cable. It is a simple USB 3.0 Super Speed A-Male to A-Female extension cable. The USB 3.0 cabling specs says that boosting the signal, assuming quality cabling material, is not needed if the cable is less than about 9 feet 10 inches in length. My roughly 6-foot cable length fell within the USB 3.0 Super Speed length specs.The Sabrent USB 3.0 Super Speed extension cable works as I expected and does Not degrade the signal strength or Megabit throughput of my Wireless Adapter. What more can I ask of it? I do Recommend this Sabrent USB 3.0 Super Speed A-Male to A-Female extension cable.

I hated having to twist around bending over the back of my desktop computer to use the USB port in the back. With this extension, I only had to insert it once and leave it there for future use.
