This USB cable extension, Latin for "extension", duly fulfills its mission with regard to me. The manufacturer of my AV amp, conscious of its customers comfort and after many marketing studies, finally placed the USB port on the back of the unit. Smarter you die. Thanks to my new extension, one meter long and sold 2.82 euros shipping included, I can finally connect a USB and watch movie and video without having to leave the cabinet. Smarter you die.
