Cable Matters 5Gbps Long USB 3.0 Cable - 15ft, USB A to B Cable, USB3 Cord with Type-B 3.0 Connector for Hard Drive Enclosure/Built-in Hub and More, Blue

Excellent brand, always does what it says, good labeling, plenty durable and competitively priced. Cable Matters smokes the alphabet soup brands 100 times out of 100 and I always look for them first.

Great quality andcolor. Does the job

We buy a lot of these and have not had trouble with any of them. Works well in temperature extremes, no issues. Size/length always as listed.

Compatible with the usb hub built into my monitor. Length is perfect for running it along with my display cable of the same length for a sleeker look. Cable isn't too thick and is fairly maleable. Easy to use and no way to mess up the install since both sides are keyed for the port they are meant to go in. Quality of data transfer was not tested but it's more than enough to run a 5 input externally powered audio mixer and 2 input externally powered audio interface as well as a usb audio card and mouse without any interference, drops in quality, or interruptions.

Cable Matters packaged incorrect cables into two separate packages.Likely an accident by Cable Matters, as I doubt when I apparently accidentally ordered two of these cables, that both packages would contain "Type A to Type A" cables instead of "Type A to Type B" cables depicted and described by this page. UPC package codes state "Type A to Type B" cables. I doubt a consumer would repackage two cables into the same bags, without breaking the seal of the packages and returning to Amazon.com -- but we all know the possibility still exists.Upon confirmation of this error, Cable Matters stated I could re-order as no other customers wrote similar reviews to what I'm writing here. So shrugs, I'll re-order and then return.Pros1) Apparently good quality thick cables, when compared to generic brands2) Apparently good connectors, when compared to generic brandsCons1) Confusing cable plug specifications, for which is more of a general overall issue than a specific issue with any one person. Only thing a consumer can do, make sure they receive the correct USB Type A to Type B cable.Updated 2015.02.16: Recently ordered another one of these cables about a day after calling the issue into Amazon.com. This time, I received the correct cable. I was sort of hesitant to buy another one of these cables so soon after calling in the problem, but am mildly surprised that they did correct the issue so soon. The previous two, Amazon.com has already issued the appropriate shipping labels. Looking at the correct cable through it's clear plastic bag package, I did notice the cable and cable plugs looked extremely similar when compared to the previous two incorrectly packaged cables. So completely explainable how somebody could have miss labelled the packages by just glancing at the cables.

Using this with a Sabrent "Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station" since the included cable wasn't long enough for my needs. Tested it out with an SSD and a couple of HDD's and it worked as expected. Quality is great too.MAKE SURE YOU NEED A 3.0 CABLE BEFORE LEAVING A BAD REVIEW! Some of these 1 star reviews are from people who don't know there is a physical difference in the connectors between a 2.0 and 3.0 cable. The internet has so much information yet people are still just completely disregarding it.

I got a new gaming monitor with a built-in USB 3.0Hub that requires a USB-B cable, similar to some printer cables, to connect it to my computer. My computer is almost 8ft. away from the monitor. The 10ft. Cable Matters USB 3.0 A to B Cable was just what I needed. The connectors fit snuggly, and transmission is great. This cable lives up to the quality name earned by the Cable Matters brand.

I lost my manitor cable. So i got this to enable all the usb ports to have a better cable management.Working great.
