By extending the USB port away from the computer case, you can situate a USB port in a more practical spot, such as on top of the computer case or on a desktop. USBEXTAA5DSK 5 ft desktop USB extension cable - A male to A female. Applications Extend a USB port from the back of your computer to your desktop. StarTech Packaging Look for StarTech branded packaging to ensure you are getting a genuine StarTech product. Features Moves the USB port from the back of the computer to your desktop or computer case USB male to USB female Review: Decent quality and works perfectly - I've been playing with Windows 10 bio metrics and wanted to use a fingerprint scanner to log in. When looking at fingerprint scanners (I purchased a PQI model - ASIN B06XG4MHFJ) this was a suggested purchase to go with it and I couldn't agree more. Essentially this is a USB 2.0 extension lead with a weighted base that has a vertical mounted female USB port. Perfect for plugging a USB fingerprint reader into the top, or any other USB device or dongle that you want easy access to. If you want to use memory sticks and other high-speed devices then you should probably pay the extra and buy the USB 3.0 version of this cable, providing that your devices support that speed. For my Fingerprint reader USB 2.0 is fine. The base is made from textured plastic, shaped like a small pear and weighs about 70g so it doesn't slide off the desk like a regular USB extension would. The cable is an odd length at 5ft (which is about 140cm) but it's long enough to get from my desk to my PC so perfect for my requirements. It also seems well made with a relatively thick cable My only criticism is the large StarTech branding printed on one side of the base. It's not very subtle and I would have preferred that to be printed on the bottom of the base instead. If it bothers you it can be positioned to the far left of your desk so that it is less visible. Pros: - Decent quality - Weighted base (70g) that doesn't slide around easily - Perfect for USB Fingerprint readers, dongles, memory sticks etc. - Available in USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 variants Cons: - StarTech branding in big letters down one side which isn't very subtle Review: Well made practical USB extension. Smaller logo on top is an improvement. - I bought this extension lead in order to plug in my USB fingerprint reader and have it situated in a more convenient place on my desk. It appears well made, looks good and works as expected so I'm pleased with my purchase. I think it's good value for what it is. Note that this is a USB 2.0 item so using it in a blue USB 3.0 port will not give you USB 3.0 speeds, if that's what you're after. Cable length is a respectable 1.5m (5ft) so should suit most locations. The bulb end is a little weighted which helps it stay put on the desk but as the bottom face is just hard plastic and not rubbery it does move around if nudged or jostled. I had noted in the reviews some complaints about the large printed branding along one side of the unit being rather ugly and intrusive. The product I received, however, looks a little better than the one shown in the listing here - the branding is still there but a little smaller and now situated on the top of the bulb (see photos). I think this looks less intrusive and smarter so am happy with the new look product. Presumably StarTech actually took note of these complaints and did a bit of re-designing to make the product a little more attractive. In summary this is a good product, better looking than its predecessor and does what it's supposed to do.
