Cable would not work with my printer, an Epson DX7450. Would work OK sometimes for printing but would not work at all when trying to scan, 'unable to comunicate with scanner message'. Suspect signal drop off as all works well after moving my printer back to original position and using shorter cable (also Belkin). Rather difficult to know if this would work without actually trying it as the cable may be satisfactory with other devices.
Used this USB lead in 4.8m length to download new firmware/software to my Topfield PVR recently. Once I had mastered the Topfield process the download happened very fast in about 15 secs.
Our home PC is some way from the PVR so we needed the extra length in the cable and this made no difference to the efficiency of the product.
Does what it's supposed to do with a good reach, I would recommend this item if you need the kind of reach that this offers with a decent build quality.
