MutecPower 10m USB 2.0 male to female cable with extension chipset - USB Active Extension cable Repeater Cable 10 Meters

To be honest I didn't have high hopes for this product as USB isn't designed to run over longer distances. However I was surprised to find that this cable actually works very well.I use this to connect my PC in the house to my telescope rig in the backyard, around 15m away. At the telescope end I have the cable connecting to the rig via an unpowered USB hub, which services an imaging camera, a guide camera and the telescope mount. So far I've had no dropouts during imaging sessions.The cable itself is rugged, with a self-powered repeater unit halfway along its length. It comes with a power supply to make provision for power hungry USB devices, but I haven't needed this for my Use Case. The only downside is that as it's a thick cable, presumably due to being well shielded, it's not so easy to coil up after use. But I guess this is a trade-off for providing connectivity over such a long distance and it's certainly something I'm prepared to live with.Highly recommended.

There is a fundamental issue with the 25 metre cable and the 4 extension chips which potential customers should be aware of which affects Windows 10. When I tried to use this cable with a hub then Windows came up with an error message popup informing the user that the number of USB devices from the root exceeded 5. What this effectively means is that the 25 metre cable cannot be used with a hub as each of the booster extension chips is classified as a hub by Windows OS and when you take into consideration the internal hub on the motherboard the total is exceeded. I was able to verify this by using a direct connection via the 25 metre cable to the hub 3.0 port on the back of my PC and this worked but not when using an external hub. I had a couple of devices at the remote end which needed to be combined via a hub so this cable was not fit for the purpose for which it was bought. The product has been returned and a refund requested.

Bought this to extend my htc vive to a down stairs room , after reading many many posts on how tricky it was to extend the vive cable above 5m or so , thought I'd take a punt .Came quickly and works flawlessly, my htc is now an extra 10metres away from my pc in my much bigger empty space.Think it may matter that I connected them to a usb3.1 port on my.pc because they have a higher ampage.( also used a 10m hdmi extender from Amazon basics , see my other review)Anyhow works as planned no disconnection issues , played for over 40hours now without a single hitch.

MutecPower 10m USB 3.0 male to female cable with 2 extention chipsets - Active Extension / Repeater Cable - Black - 10 Meters (This review is for the 10m MutecPower USB 3.0 male to female).I am extremely picky about my tech. This cable wasn't cheap but on inspection you can see why. Very well made cable with two inline repeaters (one 5m along the cable and one at the far end).Came with a separate optional PSU to provide additional bus power to hungry USB devices (eg. portable bus powered HDD) that are struggling to work at the end of such a long extension cable. The PSU can be plugged into the second repeater at the end of the cable (not into the device) but in my case that extra power was not required.Note: The PSU was supplied with and a 2 pin euro plug which is not so good given that this is Amazon UK but I didn't need the PSU so no stars lost.I bought this to extend a ceiling mounted 3rd sensor for a 360 roomscale VR setup (Oculus Rift) and it is working perfectly.  MutecPower 10m USB 3.0 male to female cable with 2 extention chipsets - Active Extension / Repeater Cable - Black - 10 Meters For the purpose of this review I also tested data transfer to a portable USB 3.0 SSD and got exactly the same data throughput for both read and write whether connected through this cable or direct to the PC so very happy.

This is a very high quality product. I use it for my astronomical camera and I've had no issues with the cable at all. I have a standard 4 meter USB 3.0 cable plugged into the extender so that is 14 meters of high speed data moving with not the slightest hiccup. There are cheaper cable around but I don't think you will get better at this price point or under.What really stands out is the thickness of the cable. You can see what you are paying for.

Definitely works at full speed, but the computer connection must go straight into a USB 3.0 port on the mobo - not into a hub. At first I plugged it into a StarTech 7-port USB 3.0 hub and neither a hard disk nor a little USB camera were recognised, but they were immediately when I plugged into a port on the back of the PC. Nothing wrong with the 7-port hub I use it all the time for other stuff. Anyway, the HD transferred @ 170MB/sec (SSD) which is excellent. The USB 3.0 camera (ZWO ASI178MM) also transferrs frames at full speed so I'm happy with that.

This is a high quality USB extension cable that I use for telescope and camera/filter control for astroimaging. No data dropout as was experienced previously using cheaper cables. Very happy with this purchase.

I had previously purchased a MutecPower 10m usb3.0 its excellent. I recently moved my mac pro and rack gear to a different room which is 20m away to eliminate noise in the studio room. The MutecPower 20m usb2 cable is excellent i will use it to direct attach a few usb midi instruments and a motif xf8. I will be buying another 12x 20m usb3.0 cables so i can complete the cable runs in the very near future. To the amazon supplier please dont discontinue these products especially 20m usb3's i will be a regular buyer for a while.
