It's shorter than I expected. I thought it would be much longer for 10 ft. I asked the clerk to give me the longest cord that they have and he just kept naming off lengths which leads me to believe that maybe they were longer length cords available but so far so good. It does work, it's just not as long as I expected.
Verizon did not have this type of cable and they said go to Staples as there cables are good quality. Very happy as it is durable and good quality material. I went back and bought another one.
If I remember correctly, the man who helped me is named Ben (he wears a black shirt). He came up with this wonderful solution for me. I'm very grateful, and for my local Staples brick and mortar store in general.
