  • Perfect answer to problem
Style: USB 3.0
I’m an astrophotographer and my usb 3 cable from laptop to cameras was 13ft. I was getting periodic disconnects. After replacing with this cable with 16ft plus 3ft usb b cable. I can run both my Asi533mc and asi120mc through the cable at the same time no problem. Works perfectly.

  • cheap quest 2 link cable set up
Style: USB 3.0
This is a review for multiple items used as a cheap alternative to the official quest link cable. I started off by using Airlink and virtual desktop when I got my quest 2 to play PC VR games. Both software had their pros and cons but I did not like the noticeable lag I got with both even though I have a very good wifi connection. I have seen many reviews complaining that this setup does not work. I'm not sure if they are having a hard time connecting it but I did have trouble at first and this is what I did to fix it. If you have Airlink enabled you have to disable it if you want to connect via link. Next not all USB 3.0 slots will work you have to try every single USB 3.0 port on your motherboard and PC to see which slot works. I have no idea why this is the case for some people but try every USB port before giving up. item 1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077XBDKBH?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1 not much to talk about since it's just a right Angle USB C Male to Female Adapter but build quality seems good and you are given 3 so if one were to break or stop working you have multiple. Item 2: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZIPYPY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details thick durable cable. will have stable connection to the quest 2 for link can also be used to charge any devices with USB c. Item 3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0179MXKU8?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1 very long extension cable but it does have a coil. this could be easily removed if you stretch it out a bit but if you don't mind the coil then I guess its fine. charge is not fast enough to charge headset while in play. i started playing with my charge at 98% and I played 1 chapter of Half Life Alyx (30-40 minutes), 1 hour of Into The Radius, and 30 minutes of The walking Dead saints and sinners. all these are the most intense games I own. after I was done playing I was at 84% charge. I'm sure there's something on the users end that can be done to prevent the headset from dying while in use and if I can find out how I will update this review. other than that I highly recommend this if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the quest 2 link cable. ... show more

  • USB 3.0 Active Cable
Style: USB 3.0
This is the third USB 3.0 active cable I ordered from Amazon. I needed a longer cable to go from my powered USB 3.0 Hub to my laptop for Astrophotoghry.I built a roll off roof observatory , and wanted a longer cabe to go to my warm room. The first cabel I ordered ( a different brand) didn't work at all , it wouldn't recognize my cameras or mount...so I returned it...I tried again with another brand. That one would connect to my scope mount , imaging camera and guide camera, but in 10 minutes or so it would drop it's connection....very frustrating.... so after returning it, I thought I would have to live with a 6 foot usb 3.0 cable to my laptop... I decided to try one last time and ordered this 3 meter (16.5 foot ) cable and I hooked it up and it connected to my equipment right away and ran all night...I have been using it for a few weeks now with no issues. I guess the third time is the charm... I highly recomend this cabel ... show more

  • Works great
Style: USB 2.0-1Pack
Bought this to bring my wireless dongle for my controller closer and it works great. Tried a 10ft passive usb cable and it didn't work. This one did. Cons: I wish the usb housing was flat. Its curved which makes it harder to mount using dbl sided tape.

  • Successfully extends the cable length for my Valve Index
Style: USB 3.0
I purchased this along with 3 other DisplayPort and USB extenders (and a DisplayPort coupler) to try to extend the display for my Valve Index. My tests were NOT exhaustive, but all 4 of the options worked. In addition to reviewing this product, I'm also detailing the other options I tested, including price. For anyone else looking to extend their VR system, I hope this helps. In all cases there was no discernable loss of visual or audio fidelity or dropping of frames. Cable length doesn't introduce lag/latency, so no worries there. But ONLY the active DP connector successfully transmitted the signal to the headset successfully / without snow. THIS PRODUCT: USB (5m) ($15.99) - CableCreation Active USB Extension Cable (Long 16.4 FT). Works great, as expected. OTHER PRODUCTS: DisplayPort (10m) ($98.99) - ATZEBE Fiber Displayport Cable 30ft, Fiber Optic Displayport 1.4. This cable diameter is remarkably small, but it performed equally to the 5m LINKUP cable with a wider gauge. The connectors / cable heads produced heat as soon as the cable began transmitting data. This may be by design for thermal management; but if it's not by design this could be problematic. Other than that the cable seems to work perfectly. DisplayPort (5m) ($39.96) - [LINKUP] DisplayPort DP8K DP1.4 Cable (VESA Certified). This cable is kinda thick and very well built. It did the job. USB (10m) ($35.99) - Cable Matters Active USB Extension Cable Male to Female. This worked to extend the VR range even without being plugged in. Note that a power adaptor is NOT included, which legit sucks. But thankfully the Index worked fine without the power boost. DP connector (0m) ($19.99) - Cable Matters DisplayPort Repeater (DisplayPort Signal Booster, DisplayPort Amplifier). This successfully extended the signal an extra 10m for my Valve Index headset. DP connector (0m) ($11.99) - Cable Matters 2-Pack DisplayPort to DisplayPort Coupler. This DID NOT WORK to extend the length of my Index cable.

  • Worked Well For Me
Style: USB 3.0
I needed an extension to a microphone's usb cable when doing a surround sound optimization analysis. The cable length at about 16 feet gave me the flexibility I needed, and more importantly, all readings were transferred from my microphone to my laptop perfectly. It did exactly what was promised. Good quality. Very satisfied. ... show more
