Does what I need, but not how I need it
Pros: - Cable fits the port on my monitor that enables data transfer in the monitor's USB hub
Overall Review: 5 feet seemed long enough, and technically it is, as the cable reaches both the port on my monitor and the port on my computer, but I only realized after plugging it in that I needed a longer cable for more slack. As it is, the cable when plugged in is pulled taut and hangs above my desk instead of drooping below it, out of sight. I've had to order a female-to-male USB 3 extension cable in hopes of giving it the extra slack I want in order for everything to look tidier. Consider getting a longer cable if the ports you want to plug the cable into are more than 3.5 feet apart.
Loose connector makes devices disconnect constantly
Pros: - Connector does have multiple positions and stays in them well enough - Devices make solid connection when plugged into hub
Cons: - Male connector does not make solid connection with the USB port that the hub gets plugged into, causing devices to keep disconnecting and reconnecting
Overall Review: I wouldn't recommend this. I'm not really sure how my issue can be addressed; it may be a fundamental weakness of the design. I would have rather gotten a rigid L-shaped hub, but couldn't find any.
