The Light-Link is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.0) Fiber Optic Cable. Because it uses fiber, it can send the signal instantly with no perceptible latency at much longer distances than regular USB extenders.
Note: This cable is compatible with devices that are USB 2.0 as well as USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Formerly USB 3.0), but it has to be plugged into a USB 3.1 Gen 1/USB 3.0 port in order to function! The supplemental power cable will be needed for USB devices that aren't low power.
How it works
The converters inside the cable heads convert incoming electrical signal into optical on one end, and back into electrical on the other end. The Light-Link is composed of two fiber cables and two copper cables. The copper cables are used for non-data information such as +5v power for USB devices. The fiber strands carry all the data information.
The light travels down the fibers using internal reflection, which allows the light to bounce off the cable walls similar to a bobsled. Light travels extremely fast (186,000 miles a second) so the signal arrives almost instantly without losing any quality.
Eliminates possible points of failure
In a typical long distance USB extension setup, you have many potential points of failure (source to sender, receiver to device, an RJ45 cable in between, and two power adapters for the baluns). The Light-Link extends the signal with zero latency and without having to worry about baluns or power adapters.
Optional Extra power
The Light-Link USB features a micro USB-B port to provide Auxiliary power for devices that require a little more power than usual. (Not required for most devices)

Awesome Banana Clips
I used 16 gauge speaker cable with these clips. 1/2” stripping of the wire is all that is needed. Then I twisted the bare wire so it was neat going into the clip. The screws clamped down nice and snug. Once that is done, I installed the cover and it fit into the speaker just fine. If you are looking to do a clean wiring config, these banana clips are for you!

So nice!
I am generally a see touch feel kind of person, but sometimes you just can’t but sense that something is worthy. Man am I over the moon for these. These are even more substantial than I hoped. Pretty simple build with the #10 wire I matched with them.

Works as expected (perfectly)
I installed this under a wall-mounted TV in order to adjust volume on my AVR, located in a nearby closet. There's a blue LED that lights up when it detects IR, which is a nice touch of tech. The setup looks clean and works perfectly.

Feedback on speaker wire
Enthusiastic stereo performance consumer here, after being asked for Feedback! several times via email. The speakers I bought these wires to connect were a pair of Emotiva bookshelf's, and a pair of Polk towers. They sounded great and with the terminations of the wires being banana plugs, installation is as easy as plugging in a toaster. I am not an audiophile like my brother. He will talk about speaker wire at Thanksgiving dinner, during the part where we say what we are thankful for, interrupting Gramps mumbling through misaligned choppers about hunger in his youth.

Dead bolt banana plugs
I almost purchased these from a well known audio brand, but decided to give these a chance. I was not disappointed. They are well built and look nice. I highly recommend these banana plugs.
Does exactly what it says it does. The small sheet you can buy can be cut up and used for tons of small thing (vases, things you don’t want your cat to knock over, MagSafe chargers that you don’t want to move around, etc.
by far my favorite speaker wire ends, can't imagine any other style that offers the connection and secureness that these offer, I have the straight and 90 degree banana plugs and also the stranded wire style, all are amazing.
