The cable is processed with value and left no grounds for complaint. Since I already had quite a different USB cables in hand. The nub on the one hand serves to amplify the signal and probably is (> = 10 meters) and look at the other cables in the category.
Connected and working. :-) Printer and smaller devices have all your services done. However, one should note that devices such as hard drives, which draw your westentlichen current hunger from the USB, can strike here. This effect can be ungangen with a USB hub that has its own power source, supplying the equipment.
In my case it was even intentional, as I so also can charge the controller and the console have right at hand. Since the PS3 no power to the USB ports (and anyway only 2 ports owns) has when it is switched off, a true blessing and one saves so another useless device, which is only required for loading.
