    Got my wireless adapter out from under the desk

    Got my wireless adapter out from under the desk
    I bought this USB extension cable to get my USB wireless adapter out from under my desk and up on a piece of furniture where it could get better reception. I also wanted it to stand the adapter up right and keep it in place. It has worked well for that purpose. The base is just heavy enough to stay in place up on top of a 4.75 foot tall dresser, although it could use just a touch more weight. If they had put rubber on the base it would also help it stay in place but if I had issues with that I’d just cut some electrical tape and stick it on the bottom. I took the suggestion of another review and used finger nail polish remover/acetone to remove the logo. I’d say it removed 95% of the paint (see photo). I haven’t had any issues with the USB port being too tight. This extension cable did what I wanted it to do.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly fine...
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020
    I bought this to use next to my keyboard, using it with a USB fingerprint reader. It's a great size for that purpose, a bit of velcro on the bottom to keep it in place and mission accomplished.

    Occasionally I'll use it for easy access to thumb drives or even USB headphones. But basically, if you need a small, sturdy USB extension that you want sitting on your desk or such, this is a great choice. ZERO issues of any kind with it, it does what it's supposed to and as long as I don't run into reliability issues (I've been using it on my primary computer for just over six months now) then I'll continue to recommend this.
