Pros: It works for a whole range of products from my external hard drive to my printer. Its really cheap, and easy to use, and works fine just like any other cable you would buy from a store at a fraction of the price.
Cons: The wire could be a bit longer. Other than that the cable works perfectly.
Other Thoughts: It would been nice if the cable didn't have the printed words on it, but I guess it has to be on there. You can't really see it, unless the cable has to go over your desk, it doesn't look as neat.
Bottomline: If you need it buy it, and you don't have to spend 8 dollars for a simple cable. Just be patient and save a couple of dollars.
Good USB 1.1 and durability

Pros: 1) As a USB 1.1 cable, works at its expected 12 Mb/s transfer rate.
2) Good price
Cons: No cons. Except for having to type out 500 characters or more. Or more. Or more. Or more. Or more. Or more. Or more. Or more.
Other Thoughts: Reminder, this is USB 1.1 and is slow for regular transferring of large files. I only got this so that I can make a funny looking USB flash drive in which looks like a ripped USB cable with copper wires flailing out.
Bottomline: Good as a USB 1.1 cable or for DIY projects due to its low price.
Does the job at the right price!

Pros: Nice long cable with strong plugs at both ends.
Works like a charm and is perfect length for connecting my UPS to my server.
Cons: Kinda hard to go wrong here isn't it? :P It does not fall apart or break/snap at the slightes jolt so no cons :)
Other Thoughts: This makes me wonder... These kinds of cables would cost me around 5~10 euro's in the netherlands, and would be worse build quality...
Bottomline: Great cable, nothing more, does exactly as it is supposed to do. This is about as cheap as it gets ;)
Great cable!

Pros: -VERY cheap!
-Perfect length for me, doesn't have an extra yard of cable to hide.
Cons: -While good length for me, it could be considered short for some.
-Other than that, nothing at all from me!
Other Thoughts: I work at sears and was going to buy one, but it was 20 bucks! Even with my employee discount it would be way to much!
Got it for my printer to my laptop, and its perfect price, size, and cable!
Bottomline: If you need this, don't hesitate to drop 2 bucks for this great cable! Don't pay 15 bucks more than you have to!
