| Awesome cable: Rating: 5/5 |
| 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: Rating: 5/5 |
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!: Rating: 5/5 |
| 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. |
