What customers say
Customers highly value this Tripp Lite 16-foot USB 2.0 extension cable for its exceptional durability and excellent overall value. The significant length offers great convenience for connecting standard, low-power peripherals like keyboards and mice across large spaces. Reviewers consistently praise the robust construction and reliable performance for basic data needs, aligning with Tripp Lite's dependable reputation. However, users note performance limitations with high-demand devices such as external hard drives over the full distance. This cable is strongly recommended as a cost-effective solution when used within the expected constraints of passive USB 2.0 technology.
