 Not very exciting, but brilliant at what it does! January 23, 2010

This is a very simple item which is designed to give you an extension to your USB cables. I use a wheelchair and my base unit is close to the floor and I cannot reach down that low to plug my ipod and camera in, so this has been a lifesaver and has prevented me from having to bend down. So many products come with short USB cables and this fixes that problem without slowing down the connection.
This is well made and looks like it will stand the test of time. I am VERY pleased with my lead and recommend it to anyone who is struggling with the ever increasing number of products with ridiculously short cables!

This is an excellent quality cable, which functions perfectly, and has a nice design (black with the amazon logo in orange). Amazon Basics is a welcome range of high quality, reasonably priced computing basics and essentials which deserves to be very popular.
Just one criticism, not about the product itself but about the packaging. Frustration free packaging it may well be, but it's incredibly wasteful and has a huge carbon footprint. My cable, which measures 100cm long by 0.50cm thick, (and can be coiled around a little and fixed with an elastic band without damage) was delivered in a very large box, so large it came by parcel force van. When I saw the box I thought it was a huge encyclopaedia inside! Inside this large box was another, almost as large, box which contained the cable. I'm sure my little cable would have fitted perfectly into a jiffy bag, saving packaging and also fitting through my letterbox rather than being treated as a large package! If amazon sort out the issue of wasteful packaging, they have a perfect, truly award worthy range of high quality, affordable computing basics. Just make the packaging a bit more basic, too!
 Huge box, but can be recycled February 19, 2010

So, Amazon-branded cables!??!
The cable works very well. (Not much else to say - it's a USB cable).
The (cardboard) box is a tad over-sized. And it is (ironically) a bit frustrating actually opening the box. Make sure you have a sharp implement to hand. (Truth be told, this only takes a few seconds to do.. I just like to grumble). Once the box is opened, you don't have to mess around with unnecessary packing. So, great for the environment. It's a great idea
If you need a 3M long cable (and can tolerate the cable spaghetti) and this is competitively priced, then go for it.
Verdict: Definitely as good as the premium, well-known brands.

I was quite surprised when I received this item. It came in a rather large box, further enclosed in a cardboard envelope. Further to this, it was a tad fiddly to open the main box, despite Amazon's "Frustration-Free Packaging"!
Onto the product, it is basically a USB 2.0 extension cable. I have tried it with a number of devices from cameras to USB external hard-drives and it works perfectly. The connectors are gold plated, which is always a good thing, and the outer rubber material of the lead has a nice feel to it. Oh, and it has the Amazon brand "Amazon Basics" written on the lead connectors, as shown in the picture.
An instruction manual is included, which has details of the 1-year warranty should the device fail. All-in-all, this is a simple extension cable that does what it says on the tin.
It's... well, a USB extension cable March 11, 2010

There's really very little to be said about this. It's an extension cord for USB cables... it extends USB cables. It, uh, plugs into a computer at one end and a USB cable at the other. That's about it.
It works well, and is solidly made. For something this simple, there's no need for anything else.
