Cable not suitable for cold weather

This active USB 3.0 extender worked very well to connect my electronics on my telescope to my laptop in warm to hot weather. But tonight, with 55-degree November weather, suddenly nothing worked. My Polemaster camera couldn't be recognized, my pointing camera was only recognized when I unplugged it and plugged it back in, my filter wheel was missing, as was my autofocus. I thought it was my USB 3.0 hub but eventually found that everything worked perfectly when I replaced that active cable with a 10ft USB 3.0 cable. What a disappointment! The active cable must be operated within a reasonable temperature range. Well if you live in Florida this will work for you. If you live where it can hit the 40s-50s this is not a good buy.

Pros
  • SUPER SPEED TRANSFER: Up to 5 Gbps SuperSpeed for USB 3.0 data transfer, 10 times faster than USB 2.0. Backwards Compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 Computer Ports - You can also use these cables to connect USB 3.0 devices to older USB 2.0 computers.
Cons
  • Doubtful
