Review: Perfect replacement for USB 3.0 - Works perfectly for my Western Digital Book hard drive for my Xbox.
Review: A "little" too stiff ... - First & Foremost - Cable Matters make GREAT Cables ... never ... ever had any issues with any of the many cables I've purchased from Cable Matters - thus - this cable is no different. It's extremely well made - ends are perfectly molded - jacket is great - a little to "great" - it's stiff. Which maybe fine - but - I was kinda/sorta hoping for a software cable which would be easier to handle/lay. In my case - I'm using this cable with a UGreen AX1800 WiFi adapter - the default cable which comes with AX1800 is about 18" - which in my case is way short. This cable will allow me to get the AX1800 higher onto my shelfs which are above my work desk. Bottom line - great cable - just a little stiff for my taste.
