Cable Matters 2-Pack 5Gbps USB Extension Cable - 6ft, USB 3.0 Extension Cable, Male to Female USB3.0 Extender, Compatible with Webcam, VR Headset, Printer, Hard Drive, Black

These cables were what we needed. The length was good and the color blended into our rug nicely. Glad we picked this one.

I was having a problem before with a longer 16ft usb extension cable not delivering good speeds, so when I got this extension cable I made sure to get a length with barely any drag. To test this extension cable I tried using it with the psvr2 pc adapter and it didn’t work. The reason being because I connected it to a usb 2.0 port on my computer, so I switched it to the usb 3.0 port on my computer and it started working fine. So, I would recommend this cable to anyone that might be concerned about it not working, because it does work and pretty good actually. I’m using it to connect my computer to another longer 50ft usb 3.0 extension cable.

I needed and USB 3.0 extension cable that was about 6ft long. This worked well and does exactly what I needed it to do.

UPDATE: Since writing this review, there have been two developments. Cable Matters sent me replacements, and I was able to get a response from the device manufacturer, AverMedia. Even though USB 3.0 has no length specification, per the manufacturer their device will not function with total cable lengths exceeding 2 meters (this specification is not listed anywhere on their site, the device's packaging, documentation etc). Therefore, using a 6 foot extension cable would not work. Once I knew this, I diagnosed both the original extension cables as well as the replacements with a USB 3.0 flash drive and confirmed that the transfer speeds are good. I have to commend Cable Matters for their support (wish I knew a way to contact them first rather than having them read my review!) and for their product quality.That said, the text below of my original review is still (technically) accurate. The problem isn't these cables--it's the AverMedia hardware device--but it's also true that these cables won't work for the function outlined, so I'll leave it below for reference only. If you need longer than the included 3.5 foot USB 3.0 A to Micro B cable, the highest you can go is 6 feet (I found out firsthand that the 9 foot won't work).Original review text:I bought these cables for one purpose: so I could get some extra cable length between my Avermedia CV710 Extremecap U3 capture device and my PC. Unfortunately, they don't work as advertised. See, the CV710 is picky about which USB 3.0 chipsets it supports because it needs to transfer data at a certain speed in order to capture 1080p video at 60 frames per second. So it comes with a USB 3.0 Diagnosis Tool software. Plug your device in, run the diagnostic, it tells you which resolutions you can capture at with your connection.If I plug my device directly into my USB 3.0 port using the Avermedia-provided USB cable (which is pretty short; only about 3.5 feet), then all diagnostics pass and I can capture at full 1080p60 at maximum bitrate. If I use the exact same port, the exact same capture device, and run the exact same diagnostic test only this time with one of these extension cables? All diagnostics fail. And yeah, the PC does still detect the device.I thought maybe I might have gotten a defective cable. But this was a 2-pack. It's unlikely that I got TWO bad cables. I suppose if you just wanted extensions for USB 2.0 devices that these cables would work fine, or if you had a USB 3.0 device like a storage device or something where the slightly lower transfer rate would at least still eventually let you finish. But if you plan on using this to capture game footage for Youtube or livestreaming like I was, then this isn't the product for you. I guess I'll have to spend extra to buy one longer USB 3.0 A Male to Micro B instead of this.

I bought this for use with a Sabrent USB 3.0 hub. The only odd thing I've noticed so far as there seems to be a mild drop in transfer speed between when I'm using this cable in combination with the hub and when I have a USB 3.0 flash drive plugged directing into a USB 3.0 port on my PC. I'm not really sure if the speed loss is in the cable or the hub because I just haven't gotten around to checking yet. Will update this when I do (if it's conclusive).Anyway, the cable seems nice. Looks and feels like reasonable quality material. Frankly, I wouldn't mind having a couple more of these, as I always seem to be finding uses for USB extensions in general (For example, they're also useful for reducing wear and tear on the ports on your PC so you're not constantly plugging and unplugging things into a port that can't be replaced).I'm kind of ambivalent on the blue color. I ordered the blue one because it was cheaper (I think) and I can live with it if that's the only difference and I get it cheaper. I'd prefer black but I never look at it and so it's not a big deal.So I give it a decent rating because it does what I want it to do. I don't know if it performs completely as advertised but I don't need it to anyway. It's still way faster than the USB 2.0 connection it replaced.
