NO MORE DISCONNECTED PRINTER!!

My printer cord was always disconnecting from the back of the computer everytime we needed to pull out the computer to do something on the back of the computer because the cord was not long enough. This USB extension cable solved our problem. The only issue we found was with the connection points. They seem to be not tight enough and so we had to tape them to keep from disconnecting. So far, so good.

Wrong Type

Bought it to use as an extension cord for the USB ports located on the back of the tower. Connected fine on the tower but could not use with the flash drive I had.

              Product works but the cord is too rigid and even with repeated use in wants to coil back to the package in which it shipped. Also, you the outer packaging seems excessive and possibly costly. But it does the important job.

                  Can this cable be used to connect my PCU to my laptop? I need to extract some data from the PCU and the old monitor doesn't work anymore.

                    No, that is not the right cable. You need a data transfer cable like the "Belkin Windows 8 Data Transfer Cable" Item: 949703 Model: F4U060. Don't worry about Windows 8 in the title, the cable is backwards compatible all the way to Windows XP.

                    This cable is an extension cable, it has the same connection at each end (USB A), so it will not work to connect your printer to your MacBook Pro. You need a cable with a "B" connector at one end and an "A" connector at the other.

                  I just bought a new computer and the mouse that it came with has a cable that is too short to reach to the back of my computer. The end of the cord for the mouse is a USB, by the way. Will this product give me the extension I need?

                    Yes, this will give you the extension you need. This is an extension USB cable so the end with the more solid looking casing inserts into your computer, the other end attaches to your current USB cable (the one supplied with your mouse). The total length of your USB cable would be 6' plus the length of your current USB cable.

                    Your Printer cables are different from a regular "USB" Cable. Check
                    with your Printer manufacturer and see if you can purchase longer cables.I believe it is best to have your printer near your computer. (Shorter cable,faster transfer speed, in some cases.)

                    A:

                    Only if your printer has the regular USB input. Most likely your printer has a connection that looks more square with the top two corners beveled inward. However, this type of cable is easy to find in a Staples store right next to the normal USB cables. Any Staples Sales Associate will be able to show you exactly which cable I am trying to describe.
