Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tripp Lite U026-016 USB2.0 16-Feet Certified Active Extension Cable
Customer Review: A decent cable
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed to run a portable hard drive from 16 feet away, which is the upper limit for USB. I read quite a few reviews and decided to buy this cable rather than trying a cheaper one. I feel I avoided a hassle.
The cable and hard drive have been working for over a month. The only negative comment I have is that clear cable looks tacky... something you could make in your garage. But it works great and I'd buy it again.
Customer Review: These cables work great with my wireless adapter!
Summary: 4 Stars
My office is essentially located in a concrete bunker. The router is too far away to run ethernet cables, so I bought two of these cables to get the wireless adapter for my computer outside the office where I can get a better connection. Out of the bag both cables worked great. I'm now getting a great reliable wireless connection from my Linksys N router, which beats the pants off the dial-up connection I had before.Customer Review: Does what it says
Summary: 5 Stars
I give this 5 stars because it works as advertised and I really dont have anything else to compare it with apart from the regular usb extension cables. I needed it to extend the distance of my logitech quickcam pro 9000 and it works just as it would if plugged in directly. One improvement would be to make the cable thinner but I guess it needs to be that thick to do what it needs to do. This is a recommended buy.Customer Review: Works great, high-speed USB 2.0 *Active* Extension
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't be confused by some of the reviews here. The title is correct: this is an *active 2.0* USB extension cable. I emphasize *active* and *2.0* because other cables not specifying these features are older and will not work with today's current high-speed ports.
I use it with my Logitech QuickCam Pro to capture an entire conference room full of people with no difference in transmission speed.
Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this cable plus a standard 10 foot USB cable to connect a printer to my laptop. It works well, except the two cables tend to pull apart and I had to tape them together (yeah, duct tape!). I was surprised by the red status light on the female end of the cable, since it not mentioned in the product description or technical details. It seems like a waste of power, albeit a minor one.
