Review on πŸ”Œ GearIT 50ft USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Active Extension Cable with Signal Booster - Black by Chris Wheeler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too many repeaters for my application

I connect all the equipment to the telescope with a cable and now I have a 25ft Tripp Lite that works fine. I need a longer cable and tried this cable at the end of a Tripp Lite 5Gbps active repeater cable. But the result was an error I've never seen before - too many repeaters (limit 5) on the USB line. And no connection, ie the camera did not appear in the Device Manager list. I would go with a 25" Tripp Lite, but the ZWO 1600 camera uses a Super Speed USB3 cable with two connectors.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
