Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Cable (10 Feet)
Customer Review: parallel replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this cable to replace a parallel cable connection to a printer on my home computer. Because of the cabinet the PC and printer are in, I had to disconnect the printer cable anytime I needed to access the rear of the PC. With this 10 foot cable, that's no longer necessary, and I can now easily connect the printer to my office laptop, when working at home. I checked into buying a cable at a local Radio Shack, but would have spent nearly 3 times what it cost through Amazon.
Some add'l info: It's an older PC, but running Windows XP Pro, and an HP deskjet 970 series printer. The print drivers were found without any external media used. I just have to watch out for the default printer selection when printing from each application for the first time after the new connection. After I deleted the parallel printer configuration, the MS apps (Office) are defaulting to the document imaging printer definition.
Customer Review: excellent value and quality
Summary: 5 Stars
Belkin makes a great USB 2.0 cable to connect computer hardware together for the ultimate computer experience! The cord is cheap, backward compatible and it does the job very reliably.
I recently purchased a new printer and used this product after having used it to hook up for old printer to my current computer. The cable made hardware recognition and setup remarkably easy as data was transmitted incredibly fast between the printer and the computer.
Hey, I'm no computer technician expert who can speak in fancy "computerese" terms; but when people say this USB 2.0 cable does the job and more they truly must mean it. I have no complaints about this cable.
I highly recommend this product by Belkin for people who need a USB cable. It sure is inexpensive; and you get great quality and value for your buck.
Get one today if you need it--you won't be disappointed.
Customer Review: Computer Peripheral Cable - Cheap & Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a humble but required part running between computer and a peripheral, in this case a new printer. It wasn't included with the printer I was purchasing according to my shopping research. The printer can operate wirelessly, which is a desirable feature. My research showed it did require a cable in order to scan items into files. Had the printer on hand and wasn't sure about the cost/benefit ratio of heading out to shop for the cable from a limited selection of stores. Amazon to the rescue with one of its pre-Christmas deals. Cable with free shipping at a price well below the in-store price, with no added time investment or gas burned.
Belkin is a well established manufacturer of needed but not-so-sexy items that keep our electronics up and running for us.
Very happy with both the item and the price/service by Amazon!
Customer Review: Quality USB 2.0 cable
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this cable to connect my printer to my computer. It works flawlessly.
Belkin is a respected manufacturer and their attention to detail and quality are apparent. As described by the manufacturer, some of its important features are: "Molded strain relief and PVC overmolding make the cable durable, while its impedance-matched, twisted-pair construction minimizes cross talk, ensuring high-speed, error-free transmission. Gold-plated copper contacts provide maximum conductivity and minimize data loss. An aluminum undermold shield helps meet FCC requirements on EMI/RFI interference, and its foil-and-braid shield complies with fully rated cable specifications, reducing EMI/RFI interference."
The very low prices offered by some of the Amazone sellers, make it a real bargain compared to other USB cables on the market.
Customer Review: Plug and play USB 2.0
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a USB 2.0 cable to extend the reach of a Dexis digital X-ray sensor. These were perfect. Actually we had installed 2 lengths of single port 16' Tripp Lite USB 2.0 active extension cables from a pc and used this 10' cable as the final reach to a 2-port Cables to Go USB 2.0 switch box which was then connected to a 4-port USB 2.0 hub (also by Belkin). All the cables were in underground PVC tubing and routed from the PCs to the operatory cabinets.
The sensor was plugged into the powered hub and everything worked great. I tested the speed using a USB thumb drive and each PC gave me readings of 22.4 MB/s (or about 180 Mb/s). I've heard stories of iffy USB cable connectors and/or wire gauges that were too high (thickness too small); but these were good performers. Overall I am satisfied.
