I needed to adapt a poorly placed USB-A port to a device, and this small cable did the job perfectly. No issues.

I use the short (6) stubs for those annoying otherwise-unusable ports on USB hubs mostly. These stub cables seem to be sturdy and of above-average quality. The female receptacles are tight, but that's a very minor quibble. So, no complaints (and believe me, I'd complain if warranted! I frequently voice invective at the producers of dumb software, especially the op-sys ;-). So far, I've not had any complaints about anything I've purchased at B&H, and I hope that it stays so. I can't say that with a lot of stuff I've bought elsewhere.

question
what is the actual length of the cable (Connectors not including)?
Without connectors, I can confirm that the actual length of cable is almost exactly 3in. Mine is 3.2 if that matters.
