I'm a big fan of Amazon Basics products - so far for me they have represented value products which are well made and work well. This lead is no exception with nicely fitting connectors at each which provide just the right grip and insertion force when connecting up kit to give the user confidence.I'd recommend this product.

Great quality

USB extension lead. Does exactly what it's designed to do. Seems well made, works well. Nothing else that can be said, really.

Good quality. Work as it should.

Excellent quality

Excellent product,good quality,value for moneyExcellent cable size, compatibility Excellent

These look well made with a fairly thick cable. They seem to work ok passing data between, for instance, my PC and phone.However, when trying to use them with the portable hard disks that I use for backups, some of the disks aren’t recognised (e.g a 1tb WD Elements) which suggests there is a power drop across the cable. I really don’t know if it is reasonable to expect a 1.8m cable to work with disks (though the blurb for this item suggests they will) but either way, I’ll have to return them.
