PERFECT!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2019

Size: 16 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

My wireless HP Photosmart printer decided to give up the "wireless" part of its functionality. It's still a pretty good printer, but having to move my laptop over to the printer to connect it every single time I wanted to print something was a serious pain. VOILA! Enter low-tech inexpensive solution! 12 feet was a tad too short. 16 feet stretches the distance and allows the cable to lie on the floor in a way that is not a hazard to life and limb. I can now print again while sitting on my bed like God intended. Works perfectly!

I'm so happy!! Thank you, Amazon!!

A Basically Good Cable

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2016

Size: 6 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

Having worked in retail at one time, I learned the valuable lesson that when you buy a piece of equipment, the accessories and add-ons that are helpfully displayed in many cases right next to the equipment have a profit margin considerably larger than the equipment itself. So, customers who are very happy that the "helpful" sales person pointed out that they needed an extra cable don't realize that the sales person just turned a marginal transaction into a profitable one ... for the store. And, unless the customer has super high-end equipment or is doing professional level work with the equipment, in most cases, whatever additional performance benefits the sales person is touting in regard to the accessories won't make a significant difference.

When I replaced my printer recently, I also had to replace the old-style multi-pin cable I had been using to connect it to my computer with a USB A-male to B-male cable. I could have bought one at the retailer in the six-foot length I wanted for $15. Instead, I ordered an AmazonBasics cable for less than one-third that price. For those who might be unaware, AmazonBasics is Amazon’s house generic brand of electronic and computer accessories. I’ve been using this cable for about three months now, and the only place I’ve noticed a difference is in my wallet.

The AmazonBasics printer cable is sold in 6, 10, and 16 foot lengths; I bought the six-foot cable. In all honesty, I hadn’t touched the cable between the time I plugged the printer in and today, when I unplugged it to get a more accurate description for this review. The cable is gold plated on each end (which does give you a better connection). It’s a reasonably thick cable, about 1/8" in diameter. The cable is black, and it’s firmly attached to the plug at both ends. The cable is also reasonably flexible; I could easily bend it to within 0.5” of itself. This means that the Amazon Basics cable is unlikely to get pulled out of the plug, cut, frayed, or broken. In other words, it should be pretty well immune to damage from being yanked out, stepped on, or having some bulky object placed on it.

As far as how well the AmazonBasics cable works, I’ve got no complaints. The printer prints quickly and accurately every time I send it a command to do so. Of course, having only had the cable for a few months, I can’t comment on how long it might last, However, my general experience has been that cables don’t “wear out”; it’s usually some external trauma that puts them out of commission.

The AmazonBasics cable is an inexpensive cable, not a cheap one. It’s solidly constructed and built to last. Although looks can be deceiving, in this case, it has the look and feel of a more expensive cable, and it has worked perfectly for over three months. Basically, the AmazonBasics cable is all you need.

Worked For Me ...

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2017

Size: 16 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

I have a couple USB peripherals -- a scanner and label printer -- that I wanted to put on a side table several feet from my CPU. I figured I'd buy some long USB cables and give them a shot ... several reviewers have had trouble with the longer lengths, but it wasn't clear to me if that was an issue with cable length or the USB ports (or hub) that they were using. With the 16 foot cables plugged directly into USB 2.0 ports on the back of my CPU -- not into a hub -- I am having no problems at all. For the money, these cables are good value, as the extra length made it a lot easier to put my little used peripherals off to one side of my desk.

Quality and price

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2019

Size: 16 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

The description and printers for use with the cable is included in the item description. I found it to be accurate. From reading about the cable to ordering and receiving the cable was less than two days. The pricing is very good. There is no installation process required for the cable. I just plugged it in and used it. I recommend this cable to anyone needing one. Just remember not to cheat yourself in length of cable when ordering. It is better to purchase a longer cable than wishing you did. The printer I am using the cable with is a HP Deskjet 3520.

Works great, quick shipping, affordable

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018

Size: 6 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

I bought a "wireless" printer senior year for a project and could not get it to connect to my laptop so I basically wasted my money, but being a teenager, I was too lazy to go back to the store and return it and it just ended up sitting on my shelf for about 2 years, fast forward I'm living with my fiancee and need a printer so I'm like "maybe I'll see if I can make this printer connect now." I couldn't. So I looked online for solutions and found out that I could also buy a cord and connect it that way and I found this one, it had good reviews so I wasn't concerned about it not working or anything, I managed to get it for 'free' because I had a little bit of a gift card balance left and it came REALLY quick, like the day after I ordered it. It also works great and is the perfect length to hook my printer up to my laptop but still have space to have my laptop on my bed and comfortably move it around with me. If I ever need to replace it, I will definitely purchase from this seller.

Works great for hooking up a HP Photosmart printer

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2016

Size: 6 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

When I purchased a new router, my wireless HP Photosmart printer would no longer connect to the network. In order to get it to connect, I had to go through some install steps that required a wired connection. Unfortunately, I lost the original USB cable for this purpose and had to order a new one. This cable fit the bill perfectly. The length (6 feet) is accurate to the description, and the connectors are solid. It worked perfectly for configuring my printer back to being a wireless printer.

This cable just fixed the problem that was driving me nuts! I was having continual problems with my wireless HP printer dropping off line. I got this cable, plugged my printer to my laptop and zapp, my printer works perfectly. I have the HP OfficeJet 4650 printer. I also saved close to $30 by ordering this cable that arrived at my home in two days over going to a brick and mortar store.

A life lesson that i’m giving you for free....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 10, 2019

Size: 6 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

The dreaded printer cable - amongst the dullest purchases that can be made for your laptop/desktop computer. So, cut to the chase - the Amazon basics cable does the job well, reasonably priced and cuts out the risk of getting a faulty cable. Do yourself a favour- don’t waste any thinking time on this - if you need a printer cable then buy this one. Yes - there will be cheaper ones but this is Amazon - good delivery, any problems you can send it back yadda yadda. Just get it, plug it in, forget about it - a life lesson that i’m giving you got free...

Good value longish cable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2020

Size: 6 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

Perfect cable for the canon MG2550S printer that is (embarrassingly) sold by Canon without a cable and isn’t wireless.

Pros:
Versatile: It’s an A to B USB cable, with the B side fitting printers, servers, hard drives etc.
Good length: It is as advertised - 1.8m - this length requires your printer/device to be close enough to the computer. If you need a longer cable, Amazon sells a 3m-length one for 10p more.
Competitively priced: Lots of expensive as well as cheaper options out there. For me, Amazon Basics is the perfect balance of price and quality - I wouldn’t want to pay any more for a cable to be honest but yet won’t want to take any unnecessary risk by purchasing a ridiculously cheap unbranded cable that may blow up.

Cons: Not very long if your connecting devices aren’t very close. Amazon sells a 3m-length one for 10 p more.

Overall, I’ll recommend this as a good purchase.

Great cable for use with my guitar amp

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 27, 2020

Size: 16 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

I'm not actually using this for a printer, but for my guitar amp. I have the 16 foot one going under my bed and under the carpet from my amp to computer and it works perfectly. There is no delay or anything, when I turn the amp on the computer recognizes it immediately, and when I'm using the BOSS software there is no delay when playing.

The cable seems to be nice and sturdy. I have moved the amp a bit since getting it and also moved my bed several times, and after all that the cable is just the same as when it was new.

So while I can't speak for how this works when using it as for a printer, for guitar amps (or BOSS Katana amps at least) it works perfectly. I can only imagine it works good for printers though.

worked perfectly and is still in great condition after almost a full year of frequent use

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2017

Size: 6 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

Before going to university I bought a wireless printer. However, upon arriving in student halls and attempting to connect my laptop to my printer, I found that I was unable to do so due to security measures on the WiFi. I needed a printer cable, and I needed it quickly. Having already opened an Amazon Student account, I checked online and found this product. It was cheap, could be delivered the next day, and even had a discount applied to Amazon Student members. It arrived quickly, worked perfectly and is still in great condition after almost a full year of frequent use. There are some products for which it may be worth paying extra for a 'premium' or branded item, however for this product that certainly was not the case. The cable was and is excellent, and perfect for daily use.

Got my printer working again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2020

Size: 16 FeetStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: CableVerified Purchase

Great product. Bought because my printer was acting up and wouldn't connect wirelessly. I didn't actually realise that I could wire it because it was so far from my computer until my partner pointed this cable out to me. Glad that I ordered as my printer is now up and running, quicker than it ever did before! Size was long enough to connect my printer which is near floor level and about a meter away from the computer, and with plenty of spare cable incase I want to move things around a bit in future. Would buy again.
