![Heavy Duty 5-1/2" PVC Coated"S" Utility Hook Set [10 Pc Per Bag]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61Wq0o+IvDL._AC_UL116_SR116,116_.jpg)
There are times where I need to use my laptop in very cramped spaces and still have access to my external drive. In the past, I've tried lots of solutions but this cable works perfectly for me. I was able to use my MacBook Pro running on the battery and have only the 10m extension cable attached. I had great transfer speeds between the system and the external USB 3.0 RAID array.
Build quality is very good overall. The cable is thicker than the old USB 2.0 standard since it has 9 conductors inside rather than the 4 wires used for the older specs. The cost is higher than other cables because of the active electronics inside the cable. It's actually $10 cheaper than an active USB 2.0 cable I bought years ago, so it seems like a pretty fair price when you take inflation into consideration. The extra speed is a bonus for certain.
Be aware that this cable can only be used on USB 3.0 devices. Since the"B" end of the cable has an extra section, itwill only work in a USB 3.0 "B" socket. The "A" side that plugs into your computer will work with any USB standard, but will only give you the speed of the USB standard you're connecting to. In other words, you'll get maximum speed in a USB 3.0 or higher port on your computer.
Although I don't need to use this cable on a daily basis, it has a permanent home in my laptop bag.
