      Defective product 7/22/2019 4:43:48 PM

      Pros: cheap

      Cons: green and white wires were soldered in reverse allowing for power but not data. Workmanship at its best.

      Overall Review: product too cheap to warrant return. Do not buy.

      An imperfect solution to an obscure problem 10/28/2017 7:13:42 AM

      Pros: As with many StarTech products, this product is the only available solution if you need a connection between a USB Type-A cable and a five-pin motherboard USB port.

      Cons: There are two problems, reliability and design.

      With respect to the first, two out of three I bought work fine, but the third does not work.

      With respect to the second, the motherboard end only has four pins. Anyone who understands USB knows that that rightmost pin is not used, but many potential users of this product may not be so well educated. It would have been much better to have employed a five-pin connector with the rightmost pin being a blank. With only four pins, it is possible to connect it incorrectly, with blown-up USB flash drives being the result.

      Overall Review: Motherboard USB 2.0 ports have nine pins in two rows, with the bottom-right position being a blank. Whether you use the top or bottom row is irrelevant, but ensure that you orient the red wire in this product at the very opposite end of the blank.

      Good Connector 4/25/2015 9:39:33 AM

      Pros: It is exactly as advertised and works well.
      Well made, and for an internal part it can outlast me.

      Cons: None

      Overall Review: none

      Works great! 2/15/2015 6:17:21 AM

      Pros: Good length. Pins well labeled. Feels well constructed.

      Cons: They may be too short for some aplications

      Overall Review: Like someone said earlier you might put these on the header backwards. If you look at the motherboard manual there will be a pinout diagram to help you avoid doing that. The pins are well labeled on the unit itself. No one should make that mistake if they take the time to read the manual.

      just what I needed 7/12/2014 6:20:47 PM

      Pros: quality feel
      good price
      good length

      Cons: none

      Overall Review: I needed 2 of these for my new SYBA SY-HUB50046 as I did not want to run the 2 USB 2.0 cables out of the inside of the computer. These were perfect for this new reader and the length was great for cable management.
