text: I bought this so I could keep my desktop computer connected to my 3D printer on the other side of the room. However, I have trouble with the printer disconnecting in the middle of a print. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, I loose hours of time, with some prints taking 12+ hours, it can be very frustrating to loose signal 11 hours into a 12 hour print and having to start over. I never had this when I was using the standard cable so I can only assume its this extension I bought for it. So my final verdict is that it works okay with part time use, but it does occasionally loose signal with long term use. UPDATE: Now I can't stay connected to my 3D printer for more than a few minutes. I don't know whats wrong, but I can no longer use this cable and will be asking for a refund. The replacement that Amazon sent me also went bad and will no long hold a connection to my printer! DO NOT BUY!
