Usb 3.0 Super Speed Extension Cable

I bought this USB extension cable to run printers, scanners and software defined radios (SDR) that are located about 30 feet from me. I first tried 3-4 USB 3.0 extension cables that are not powered; they didn't work. This 30' StarTech powered USB 3.0 cable works great. I'm more than satisfied with it.

My desktop only has USB 3.0 ports in the back so they are very inconvenient to use. This extension cable solved the problem. I leave it plugged in all the time, sitting on top of the tower so it is easily accessible. Now I get super fast transfer speeds between my 3.0 thumb drive and PC.

Nicely made USB 3.0 capable extension cable. Handles high data rate without any issues. Reasonably well made.

Nice to be able to use all my USB 3.0 devices and get the speed it provides.

Love it! Super easy to use, portable, no need for an extra charging cable, it's all done by USB-C, or USB-C to 3.0!

If only the channel weren’t so totally flooded with cut-corners landfill-ready junk, but sadly it is, so even if cable IS pricier, at least it’s solidly made and actually works. This almost doubled the speed of my external SSD SATA to USB 3.0. Went from -125M to -225M. That’s not true USB 3.0 speed (and for that I blame my hardware not this cable) it’s a huge leap over the typical junk “USB 3.0” cables I was using. Thank heaven there are still quality manufacturers in existence. Thanks again B&H!

It works great with the USB 3.0 cable provided with the D810.

Great product and easy to use! Fast speed with 3.0 USB.

I bought this cable because the one our school's studio had had been worn down and didn't maintain a connection. I bought this knowing that I could use it for multiple camera's for tethering capabilities because of the open ended female port. The Nikon D800 is USB 3.0 compatible with this interface, as well as the Leaf Credo 40 backed medium format camera we also use in the studio. I also own a Nikon D7000 I have used to tether with the extension (mini-USB Pearstone extension cord, and the Male Type B USB extension cord for the Leaf Credo back), and it worked fine in Lightroom and in CaptureOne. I use my portable harddrive cord to connect the Pearstone 3.0 cord to the D800, and it works fine. Some things I think people underestimate about cables are their storage needs. They need to be wrapped up in a non destructive manner so the pins don't become dislodged from the connectors over time. I feel as though if I take care of this cord it will take care of me. I think it's a must for anyone planning to do tethering.

This is a three foot USB 3.0 extension. I'm using it for my Elgato Stream Deck, which probably doesn't even need 3.0, but I didn't want to risk it. I have discovered that it performs as 3' USB 3.0 extension should. It works.
