Ken,
I’ve used these Startech 5m long Active USB3 cables for years and not one issue at all
Waisted time and money buying $15 to $60 USB3 cables that all had intermittent connection issues
USB3 cables are normally designed to run ok over one or two metre , once you go to 3, 4 and 5 metres you have connectivity issues
The Startech USBs are designed to allow data transfer at full bandwidth without signal loss at 5 metres
Expensive ? Yes , around $190 to $220 each ,but they bloody work
Ive had mine nearly 5 years , cost me $150 so that equates to $30 a year
I spent more money throwing out USB cables that didn’t work
Cheers
Martin
