Downgrading my stuff to USB 2.0

I have several USB 3.0 astronomy cameras. If I connect them with a longer female-to-female cable, they work as intended at 3.0 speed. However, I wanted to use a shorter cord to minimize the occasional snag and cord tangling. When I tried this cable, all of my cameras suddenly ran at USB 2.0 speeds. They are even listed as a USB 2.0 camera in the driver. If I switch back to the longer female-to-female cable, they become 3.0 cameras again. Obviously there is a problem with this cable connection where maybe a pin or two is not making the right contact points? Or is there a broken cable? I don't know, but I do know that I had this cable for 36 hours and only used it once. Nothing I did could hurt him. Marriage or just bad quality? You decide.

Pros
  • SERVICE
Cons
  • Short manual
