Does NOT work with Avermedia CV710 Extremecap U3 (Update: Issue is Not The Cables)
5 Stars
Does NOT work with Avermedia CV710 Extremecap U3 (Update: Issue is Not The Cables)
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.

Tl;DR: Buy this for Android Auto adapter.

I bought this along with a wireless Android Auto adapter for my car because my car only has USB ports under the center console and I didn't want to be looking at the adapter every time I got in my car. Granted, I do see this cable, and the cable is kinda thick so I couldn't tuck it under my trim, but it still looks way better than seeing the adapter hanging out. This cable runs from the USB port to the adapter, which is hidden in my center console. It all works great!

I've been using one (I really didn't need 2, but we'll see) of these cable extensions for almost a week now and as far as I can tell so far they seem to be very high quality. I'm using this extension cable with an external disc player/burner that the manual says for best results not to use an extension cable. However, my results using this cable have been great and I can only attribute that to the quality of the cable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Poor connection, doesn't work if seated firmly
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016
Size: 3 FeetColor: BlueNumber of Items: 2Verified Purchase
Edited May 2016:
Took a long while to edit this, because the replacement cable was with someone who was out of town for an extended period. After I left a negative review, the seller contacted me and replaced it, super fast. And then contacted me again to make sure it worked. And it does. So maybe there's an issue with consistency of quality, but the replacement does work well with all the devices we've tried it with. Upping to 4 stars.
------
Wanted a cable to extend the ridiculously short cables that Apple includes. Nearly posted this review saying it simply doesn't work. After a lot of fiddling around with it (different devices, different power packs), discovered that it doesn't work if your cable is firmly seated in the connector. I have to pull the male connector part-way out of the power pack for it to actually form a connection. So I can't plug and go, but instead have to carefully arrange things and verify everything is charging before walking away. And for my 80-something dad with such poor vision he can hardly see the charging icon on his iPad, that's just not a realistic scenario.

5.0 out of 5 stars This review is the 2 pack of Super Speed USB 3
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2014
Size: 3 FeetColor: BlackNumber of Items: 2Verified Purchase
I am updating this review from 1 star to 5 stars. I contacted Cable Matters customer service and they got back to me within a few hours and this was December 23rd. They offered to send me two new cables and the customer service rep told me that she would personally go to the warehouse and get two new cables and that she would test each cable before she packed it up to make sure it worked. I received two new cables 4 days later which is pretty amazing considering it was two days before Christmas when I emailed them. The rep told me to just throw the old cables away.

The original, (non-working), cables I received were in a two pack but the two new cables were individually packaged. I tried both cables and they work fine. I copied 6gb's of video files directly from my hard drive to a MY BOOK USB 3.0 external drive and the transfer speed was about 20-40 mbps. I added extension cables and the speed was about the same. Now I have to investigate why my transfer speed are so slow with my hard drive to the external USB 3.0 drive.

This is my original review:
This review is the 2 pack of Super Speed USB 3.0 extension cables in black (3 ft. length). Both of these cables will not let me plug any device into the female end. Anything I've tried to insert into the female end only goes in about half way before it hits very solid resistance. I tired three different USB 2.0 and 3.0 thumb drives, two different 3.0 USB hubs, and a USB 3.0 card reader and all the devices hits a hard stop in BOTH CABLES. I had no issues whatsoever when I inserted all my devices in two different computers so I know it is not the devices. It seems to me that these cables have a serious manufacturing defect. In many years of purchasing items from Amazon, this is the only product that I have had to return. Thanks to Amazon's virtually painless return system.

I have emailed support@cablematters.com to see what they have to say but I am not optimistic given that the issue of the female end (and speed) of these cables has been going on for well over a year. I should have read the 1-star reviews which I normally do because if I had, I would most likely not have purchased these cable extensions.

I may revise this review up...it depends on the response I get from Cable Matters if I revise it up...or not!

Works as intended I bought for charging iPhone. Always connects and charges phone. Had it since 2021 very durable product. Have 10ftx10ft room and usb stretches comfortably with a lot of slack in my room for charging iPhone anywhere.

Das Kabel erfüllt seinen Job und wirkt auch hochwertig. Viel mehr lässt sich auf die Schnelle nicht sagen. Die Funktionalität des Kabels bleibt hoffentlich auch noch viele Jahre bestehen.
