USB Connection for Convenience
USB 2.0 (which is also backward compatible) has now become the standard for a large array of devices, ranging from external hard drives to sound cards to digital cameras. The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable supports the full 480-Mbps transmission speed of the USB 2.0 standard. Additionally, it supports the transfer of power according to the USB 2.0 standard. Devices that use USB for power don't need a separate power supply, conserving space and keeping outlets free. The cable's six-foot length gives you room to work with, letting you put your peripherals farther away from your computer when convenience, space, or décor demands. This AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable has a Male A connection on one end and a Male B connection on the other. Typically, the Male A is connected to the computer and the Male B is connected to the source device, such as the printer or external hard drive. Check your device manuals to make sure you have the right connectors. Shielding Maintains Signal Quality
The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 cable features shielding that provides protection against noise from electromagnetic and radio-frequency signals, keeping your signal clear with less loss of bandwidth for higher performance. Gold-Plated Connectors for Performance
The cable also features gold-plated connectors that resist corrosion for signal purity. AmazonBasics: Quality Products at Low Prices

Excellent product for a low price February 6, 2010

length is great. February 2, 2010

the cable I had was way to short. This cable is just the right length.
Awesome cable January 21, 2010

If you need a good quality 6' USB cable and you don't want to pay $20 or more in the stores, then this cable is for you. I was surprised to learn that Amazon had started marketing their own brand of cables. These are very high quality and better constructed than some of the "high-end" cables I have seen costing $30 or more. I would highly recommend this cable to anyone who needs a good quality USB cable.
Good cable, make sure that THIS is what you need December 22, 2009

Please be VERY careful and look at the picture before ordering this cable. This is NOT what we normally view as the 'generic' USB cable. For that, look for a "USB-A to MINI-B male" cable.
This is a relatively rare configuration as most devices today will require either a MICRO-B or a MINI-B connector. The full USB-B connector is still in use with some USB-connected disk drives, printers or speakers. A cable such as this may be needed because some vendors chose not to provide a cable with the device they sell.
I ordered mine because I wanted one 'in black' for a new USB-connected speaker that came without it and my only spare was white and, at this price, with free shipping, I thought it was worth the expense. I am happy to testify that Amazon's wire works perfectly. The cable is well built and it appears to have gold-plated connectors - at least they look 'gold'.
While USB cables are clearly a commodity item these days, AmazonBasics cables do have a couple of advantages over the competition.
- EASY RETURN - I know because I had to return quite a few items for various reasons. Amazon makes it very easy and, if you are returning the item because it came defective or damaged Amazon pays for shipping.
- WARRANTY - these wires come with a 1-year warranty.I am highly confident that Amazon will be around to honor its warranty and I'm not so sure about vendors I know less.
- QUALITY ASSURANCE - I've never had any problems with 'cheap' USB or HDMI cables but it may be reassuring to have Amazon's name on a wire. My assumption is that Amazon did insist on some quality checks before they stamped their logo on the product.
- PRICE - This cable may appear more expensive than others but keep in mind that, unlike most, it qualifies for SuperSavers and Amazon Prime free shipping.
I am awarding this item 5 stars for price and quality - there's nothing to complain. There may be better deals out there, pricewise but I decided to go with the Amazon brand in this case for the reasons cited above.
Works Great! December 18, 2009

Not too much you can say about a USB cable, but it worked right out the box. The cable seems durable, and I really like the Amazon Basics sticker because it provides a grip on the end of the cables making it easier to unplug and plug in.
