Solid cable, looks good, works perfectly. Good transfer speeds, and has been working as expected for the last month. No complaints.

StarTech makes these cables in a few different lengths. This one is the 15’ model. At the current price of just over seventy bucks, it’s certainly not cheap, and perhaps different extenders would be less. . . but. . . for a single cord, this is a good option. You’ll also save a lot if you can use a USB-2 cable, but then you’re not going to have the same speed. This works for me to get things connected across my office.

This is a USB 3.0 15 foot long cable with a standard USB 3.0 Standard-A plug at one end and a USB 3.0 Standard-B plug at the other. Note that USB 3.0 Standard-B plugs can NOT fit into a USB B receptacle that is not 3.0 capable. So you can't simply use this to connect your 3.0-capable laptop to a non-3.0-capable printer that has the standard 2.0 version of the USB B receptacle. The USB 3.0 standard has been renamed USB 3.1 Gen 1 so you may see this cable referred to, correctly, in that manner. There is also an even newer format named USB 3.1 Gen 2. This cable does not meet that standard. Note that the cable running between the two connectors is a little thicker than the typical cable that you'd have on a USB 2.0 cable. It's just as flexible but will take up a little ... MoreThis is a USB 3.0 15 foot long cable with a standard USB 3.0 Standard-A plug at one end and a USB 3.0 Standard-B plug at the other.

It's just as flexible but will take up a little more space if you leave it coiled up for storage.
This is a cable that is used to attach a device that has a USB-B port to one that has a USB 3.0 port. The cable is 15 feet long so it gives you plenty of length and flexibility to use it. They say there is no signal loss even though it is 15 feet and I don't notice any. I don't have a measurement device to make sure this is true, but there does not seem to be any lag at all. Overall, a great cable if you need to attach a USB-B port to something that uses USB 3.0.
