Perfect where it's needed
My monitor has a built in USB hub but all the ports are on the back making it a pain to plug anything in. With these I can just reach behind, grab one, and plug something in to it. They're short and stiff enough that when nothing is plugged in they don't dangle beneath the bottom, keeping aesthetic clutter to a minimum.I was a little worried that the plastic extending around the female end before I ordered; I thought it might prevent some devices from being fully plugged in. I am happy to report however that I have had no issues plugging in any USB drives or other devices.In addition do being as advertised and working correctly, it is definitely constructed a step above your average cable. The plastic molding on the ends is thick and feels well made. The female end especially would provide good resistance to being stepped on over other extension cables with bare ends. This isn't of concern to me, but it's good to feel like the product is robust. In addition to the ends the cable its self seems sturdy and thicker than most "cheap" cables.I would, however, expect this cable to be well made, and this brings me to my only con: the price. At the time of purchase this cable costs slightly more than a 10 foot Amazon Basics USB 3.0 extension cable. When you consider this cable cost more than one 20 times longer, the price seems a little high. On the other hand, I'm sure 6" USB cables are in a much lower demand than more typical lengths so the price is somewhat excusable.In the end it's a matter of a few dollars, though, so I don't consider it a big deal. I bought one to see if it fit my needs, and purchased two more when I decided it did.

Nice extension, did the job.
Very well made, nice length to extend and/or protect a laptop USB port. Didn't quite work out the way I wanted it to, but nothing to do with the product itself, it is excellent, and works fine.If you need a short USB-A extension, this is a great product for the price!

Allowed use of two USB ports that were close to each other
Worked fine. I bought it because my two USB drives were too wide to plug into ports that were next to each other. This solved the problem.

Quality, reasonably priced short extension
Quality, reasonably priced short extension. It works as expected and helps when I need to use my card reader while my ultrabook is plugged in (the AC and USB ports are too close together). Great for any large USB device on a computer with limited room around the USB ports. The cable is thick and sturdy feeling, but it would be nice if it was a bit more flexible.The advertised length is 6 inches, and that is the length when measured from the beginning of the insulation on the male end, to the end of the female jack (the insulation extends slightly past the end of the female jack). Total length of the cable from end to end is 6 and 5/8th inches.Note: When I bought mine it was available as an add-on item from Amazon.

Quality product
I needed a small pigtail so that I could leave this item plugged in to my car. The item I have plugged into it or something that I need to unplug fairly often. I wanted this pigtail to take the beating and not my cars USB port. The idea was to leave this plugged into my port and unplug from the back of this instead of from the car port.The issue is I needed a high quality item. I am using this for a car computer that cannot be plugged in when I am on base. So every time I drive up to the security gate I need to unplug it. But if it's low quality signal, the car computer will not work.This particular brand of product is used by department of defense IT computers. I have known it to be a high quality item so I spent the extra money to buy this version versus some of the cheaper offerings that Amazon has and I wasn't disappointed. This thing is fantastic and it's working as I intended. I feel comfortable recommending this brand of cables all around to anyone as they have never failed on me even when abused.

Functions as Intended (Not Recommended for HUANO HNDS6)
I attempted to order several different cable to fit underneath the Huano HNDS6 Monitor Mounts. This was one of the only ones located that was long enough that qualified that I could find.Design:The Blue Shell provides protection for the cable and is sturdy. When I attempted to house it in the bottom of the monitor stand it protruded from the front.Works appropriately when connected to the main computer.Item functions as intended but is not recommended if you want it to sit flush under the HNDS6.

Very nice jumper
As you would expect, this cable is meant to be a port saver for a device that frequently changes interfacing devices. The cheap price helps justify buying multiple copies of this unit. The connection is solid and the cable itself is well built.
