Allowed use of two USB ports that were close to each other

Worked fine. I bought it because my two USB drives were too wide to plug into ports that were next to each other. This solved the problem.

Despite all the not-up-to USB 3.0 speeds claims, mine works at 3.0 speeds.

Ok, so I needed a USB 3.0 extension cord and reaching to the back of my desktop for USB 3.0 is tiring. Many USB 3.0 hubs are still unreliable and expensive today, so I want to stick with a cable for now. Got a little scared after reading all the reviews about how this cable can not perform at USB 3.0 speed. The only cause for sub-par speeds that I can think of is bad shielding causing many of USB 3.0's high bandwidth data feed wires to not function. But I took a gamble and the cable I got at least performs at USB 3.0 speeds on my Seagate drive and my Lexar Triton 3.0 drive.To those skeptical at first like me, this wire is built really well actually, a lot better than many data cables I have seen in the recent years. To further explore what could have gone wrong with other people's cables, I took the liberty to cut one open to see the wires and shielding. Surprisingly, everything is up to standard on my scale. I have seen thin foil horribly wrapped inside the connector heads, but this one is done pretty neatly. Unfortunately I do not have the device to test the shield's effectiveness nor the data loss/noise rate.Tested on two ASUS motherboards with USB 3.0. One integrated Intel chipset and one Etron USB 3.0 chipset. Tested on Macbook Pro 15" Retina and Samsung Series 7 Chronos. All proven to provide USB 3.0 transfer speed with this extension cable attached.Maybe StarTech bumped up their quality control or maybe I just got lucky with a good cable, I'm unsure, but hopefully this help drive some doubt out of buyers out there like me.

Quality product

I needed a small pigtail so that I could leave this item plugged in to my car. The item I have plugged into it or something that I need to unplug fairly often. I wanted this pigtail to take the beating and not my cars USB port. The idea was to leave this plugged into my port and unplug from the back of this instead of from the car port.The issue is I needed a high quality item. I am using this for a car computer that cannot be plugged in when I am on base. So every time I drive up to the security gate I need to unplug it. But if it's low quality signal, the car computer will not work.This particular brand of product is used by department of defense IT computers. I have known it to be a high quality item so I spent the extra money to buy this version versus some of the cheaper offerings that Amazon has and I wasn't disappointed. This thing is fantastic and it's working as I intended. I feel comfortable recommending this brand of cables all around to anyone as they have never failed on me even when abused.

Very nice jumper

As you would expect, this cable is meant to be a port saver for a device that frequently changes interfacing devices. The cheap price helps justify buying multiple copies of this unit. The connection is solid and the cable itself is well built.

Perfect where it's needed

My monitor has a built in USB hub but all the ports are on the back making it a pain to plug anything in. With these I can just reach behind, grab one, and plug something in to it. They're short and stiff enough that when nothing is plugged in they don't dangle beneath the bottom, keeping aesthetic clutter to a minimum.I was a little worried that the plastic extending around the female end before I ordered; I thought it might prevent some devices from being fully plugged in. I am happy to report however that I have had no issues plugging in any USB drives or other devices.In addition do being as advertised and working correctly, it is definitely constructed a step above your average cable. The plastic molding on the ends is thick and feels well made. The female end especially would provide good resistance to being stepped on over other extension cables with bare ends. This isn't of concern to me, but it's good to feel like the product is robust. In addition to the ends the cable its self seems sturdy and thicker than most "cheap" cables.I would, however, expect this cable to be well made, and this brings me to my only con: the price. At the time of purchase this cable costs slightly more than a 10 foot Amazon Basics USB 3.0 extension cable. When you consider this cable cost more than one 20 times longer, the price seems a little high. On the other hand, I'm sure 6" USB cables are in a much lower demand than more typical lengths so the price is somewhat excusable.In the end it's a matter of a few dollars, though, so I don't consider it a big deal. I bought one to see if it fit my needs, and purchased two more when I decided it did.
