USB3>ethernet>USB3 type B
Just starting to set up my "portable" semi remote HEQ5 and solar gear after some time out of service....
It sits on the balcony some 4.5 mtr from the office laptop.
I've been using a 3m USB3 with a 2mtr extension to connect to the ASI cameras/ Firecapture. I know about the limiting lengths of the USB3 cables but this arrangement, touch wood, has always worked for me.
Yesterday was different....
Computer says camera connected....FireCapture after a few seconds " Failed to capture".
After a few abortive trials I used a new 3mtr USB3 cable and it worked first time!!!
I can only assume the connection between the USB extension and the USB3 cable is the issue????
OK, what about alternatives?
I see you can buy a USB3 to ethernet adaptor. BUT I can't see any ethernet to USB3 Type B connector for the camera end.....
Question: would this work ? If so, how do you find a USB3 Type 3 connector.
Appreciate any comment/ feedback.
