Review on πŸ”Œ Black SIIG USB 3.0 Active Repeater Cable - 20 Meters (JU-CB0811-S1) by Mark Colbert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Daisy chain successful

We needed to upgrade the webcam which luckily was only USB 2.0 so I bought two of these hoping for daisy chaining. This cable comes with a power adapter, but is not needed when using 2.0 technology. The active amp in the middle of the cable is a great design and comes in handy if you FORGET TO CONSIDER THE EXTRA 3 FEET of cables I already had to the USB wall jack. As I mentioned earlier, I was able to successfully connect two of these cables WITHOUT power adapters to use my Logitech c920 webcam. The price is a bit high, so there is no asterisk, but in a pinch it will be very good. seamless USB 3.0 connection even with a single cable.)

Pros
  • Supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps
Cons
  • Older model
