Good value for money USB 3.0 cable

I have a USB 3.0 cable that came with a USB 3.0 hub but after setting up my computer I found out that the cable was not working. not long enough. Rather than an extension cord I wanted the right length cord and after looking at what was available I bought one of these 10 inch cords. The cable is printed USB 3.0 (which is good) and 28 AWG (power/ground cables could be thicker but still within spec, other cables are good and easily within spec). As can be seen in the pictures, the connectors have blue inner edges (standard for USB 3.0 cables) and the cable comes with plastic connectors for protection (feels nice). Discount is ok. I tried the cable with my 3.0 hub and 3.0 flash drive, ran a few speed tests and didn't see any change (which is good).

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
