Review: Failed to Work Properly - Intermittent Crashes - Bought this to power keyboard, mouse and mouse pad via monitor. Works for a bit then crashes the computer. Only way to clear is to fully power down and restart. I don't mind spending the money on a product that is good quality, but changed for a different brand 10m cable which works perfectly and is ironically cheaper. Pros: - 10m long Cons: - Thicker sections every 2m (active components), can make cable hard to route through trunking - Not up to the job to maintaining connection - Expensive Review: 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. ## Features - EXTENDS CONNECTIVITY: This active USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) cable, lets you position your USB Type-B peripherals where you need them, up to 10 meters away from your computer. - SAVES SPACE: With its functional design, you can locate USB devices such as portable hard drives and external video capture devices to make better use of your workspace. - RELIABLE CONNECTION: This 10-meter (30-foot) cable has a built-in equalizing chip that delivers a reliable connection, with no signal loss, beyond the 3-meter limit of standard USB 3.0 cables. - EASY TO USE: The active USB 3.0 USB-A to USB-B cable is bus powered. This means that the user does not require any additional power adapters. - THE STARTECH.COM ADVANTAGE: StarTech.com offers a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support on this active cable and has been the choice of IT professionals and businesses since 1995. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0109IWCT4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 42,892 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 4,734 in USB Cables | | Brand | StarTech | | Cable Type | USB | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Docking Station, Hard Drive, Video Device | | Compatible Phone Models | Likely compatible with USB-compatible smartphones, specific models not listed | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Male | | Connector Type | USB | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (46) | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 Gigabits Per Second | | Ethernet Cable Category | Cat 6a | | Frequency | 5000000000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030861359 | | Included Components | 1 * USB3SAB10M | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Length | 10 Metres | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Type Name | Data Transfer Cable | | Item Weight | 1.13 Pounds | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Manufacturer Part Number | USB3SAB10M | | Maximum Voltage | 525 Millivolts | | Model Name | USB3SAB10M | | Model Number | USB3SAB10M | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 9 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Tangle Free | | Outer Material | Plastic | | Product Warranty | 2 Years | | Recommended Uses For Product | Video | | UPC | 065030861359 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech - **Cable type:** USB - **Compatible devices:** Docking Station, Hard Drive, Video Device - **Connector type:** USB - **Special feature:** Tangle Free ## Images ![StarTech.com 30ft USB 3.0 USB-A to USB-B Cable - M/M - Active - USB Type-A to USB Type-B Cable - USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Cable (USB3SAB10M) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M3fnA81vL.jpg) ![StarTech.com 30ft USB 3.0 USB-A to USB-B Cable - M/M - Active - USB Type-A to USB Type-B Cable - USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Cable (USB3SAB10M) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710UcDURnFL.jpg) ![StarTech.com 30ft USB 3.0 USB-A to USB-B Cable - M/M - Active - USB Type-A to USB Type-B Cable - USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Cable (USB3SAB10M) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31uzpsUa+7S.jpg) ![StarTech.com 30ft USB 3.0 USB-A to USB-B Cable - M/M - Active - USB Type-A to USB Type-B Cable - USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Cable (USB3SAB10M) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6113Idulb1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many watts of power does can this cable carry?** A: USB3SAB10M follows USB 3.0 specification and is capable of 5V / 900mA.
