Lindy 2m USB B 3.0 Cable, USB-A Male to USB-B 3.0 Male Type B, Monitor, for External Hard Drive, Scanner, Printer, Cromo Line

I bought this to connect an RME headphone amplifier and DAC to my PC. I needed to get a long cable to allow it to be routed neatly from the unit on my sit-stand desk to the PC on the floor and not put any strain on ports when the desk is raised or lowered. I'm moderately sceptical of high-end audiophile USB cables, but I have had connection problems with cheap USB cables in the past so paying a little more for a well-made cable seemed reasonable given this was a longer cable and was bundled up next to video and power cables. I can't claim there is any audible difference versus the bundled cable, nor did I expect there to be, but the cable is clearly a step above the freebie cables. The insulation is nice and flexible even though it's a larger diameter than the cheap cables. The connectors are solid and well-made. For around £20, it is great value.

As an event business we have thousands of cables. It is easy for us to have a first impression based on how the cable looks and lays.We have bought a few of these as some replacement midi devices have this style of connector.These are great. They feel good. No issues with data or drop outs. The colour coding helps when you have lots of equipment in a mobile setup.100% recommended

I needed a replacement spare usb 3 cable for my Asi zwo camera. Tough flexible and of good length.

Good product and value for money

This cable works perfectly connecting my desktop computer to my Dell monitor's built-in USB hub.Although I didn't really want to buy a very long cable, I chose the 5-metre version because I had to zigzag across monitor arm stand, then under the table until it reached its destination and I wanted it to be long enough from the monitor to the PC.· The cable seems to be very well built with connectors that actually look pretty good (if that matters to you) – and it is flexible enough to get where you need them to go without issue.· The transfer speed was great on my first test with an external SSD. I've not experienced any noticeable reduction in processing speed.Highly recommended!

Would buy again

Why is it you spend several hundred pounds on electronic equipment and they only give you the bare minimum for a cable to connect to your laptop/pc. Had to buy this, it works really well, being colour coded helps so if you need to unplug you know which one you are unplugging

A warning to everyone: Cheap Chinese USB 3.0 can destroy your computer. I MUST POINT OUT THAT THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS CABLE.I purchased a USB 3.0 cable at a large electrical suppliers and the cable was claimed to be tested which was reassuring. I tried the cable in my 2nd PC which is an old X48 chipset PC with PCI-e v1.1 and 2 x PCI-e v2.0 x16 slots. I purchased a Delock 89359 2xUSB 3.0 & 2xSATA 6Gb PCI-e x4 card because the X48 PC does not include these features.I plugged the cable in and it destroyed both the Delock card AND the PCI-e x16 slot. I tested the cable, something that I now do with all USB cables, with my multimeter and found that it had a short circuit, 5V power to Ground which drew a very large current through the Delock card and PCI-e slot destroying both.The first thing that I did when I received this Lindy cable was to test it for any short circuits which might damage my main PC. It passed, no incorrect connections so safe to use. I have since used it to connect a Dual drive docking bay which I use to access my backup drives. It serves it's purpose perfectly. It's a shame that it is black coloured but you cannot have everything. The faulty Chinese cable was white BTW.
