Customer Reviews

Itme received is not the item described.
I ordered 2 of this item. Clear AV sent me two 6 inch USB extension cables that have male connectors on both ends. The picture & technical description on this page is for a 6 inch USB extension cable that has a male connector on one end (type A) and a female connector on the other (type A).

After several exchanges of email, Clear AV was adamant they sent me the correct product, and offered no exchange, only a refund. Are the description & picture on this page wrong? Did they send me wrong item and weirdly won't admit to it? Clear AV has a really good rating overall with transactions, but I was dumbstruck by the dismissive tone of their emails to me, and the seeming lack of interest in correcting their mistake. And in fact after several searches on Amazon I could find no 6 inch USB extension cables offered by Clear AV that have male connectors on both ends.

These cables are quite cheap, and even with shipping (if you get several) they are cheaper than buying them at a retail store, at least where I live - which makes it all the more frustrating. If Clear AV had just admitted to sending the wrong product and offered an exchange I'd be annoyed but I would still buy from them. I won't purchase anything from them again.

Product is as adverstised
After reading several recent negative reviews who claim to have not received the product advertised I was hesitant to order this. After checking StarTech's web site and confirming that they did make the product advertised, I went ahead and ordered 3 and received the product advertised. It is 6 inches and it has USB type A male on one end and USB type A female on the other end, which is what you want most of the time for an extension cable. It is rated for USB 2.0 and so far works fine for me. And a good price at that. Perhaps too short for some uses, but just right for others.

USB Extension Cable
These are a "must-have" especially for musical instruments using USB memory sticks for storage. They allow for connecting the stick to the USB port without worry of damage to the stick from it's normal protruding position, as memory sticks can often come into contact with other equipment when being transported or moved. It's short so the media is retained flexible so it's added protection for both the memory stick and the USB port on the device. I recommend this for anyone who uses a device which depends on USB driven memory sticks. Think of it as a little insurance for the device & the memory stick.
