Review on πŸ”Œ MutecPower 32ft Active USB Extension Cable 2.0 Male to Female with Signal Booster - Extension/Repeater Cord 10m / 32ft by Dawn Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I don't know how, but it works for me, although it exceeds the maximum length

The maximum length of USB3 is said to be 3m, that's why active cables have built-in repeaters. This cable is 15m long, so it has a repeater on one end and there must be 4 more every 3m. But it only has 1 repeater in the middle, that's 7.5m per repeater. The description says there are 2, which I think is technically correct, but I'm not sure how reliable that would be. I haven't had any problems so far and the cable is very heavy so maybe it depends on a really good shield. Also, I use it without a power supply. It's bus powered and I've connected it to powered hubs on both ends so none of my connected devices are powered through that cable anyway and that's how it seems to work. If it's reliable with just two repeaters that's actually good, fewer stages are better for speed.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Some errors
