The 6′ Pearstone Type A Male to Type A Female Extension Cable provides a reliable way to connect USB devices to your computer for charging and data transfer. The cable allows you to benefit from the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed maximum transfer rate of 5 Gbps, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0.
This premium cable features two unidirectional paths that simultaneously transmit and receive data. With a maximum throughput of 900 mA for configured high power devices, the cable is capable of powering bigger devices that require more energy. Additionally, USB 3.0 standard type A connectors are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 standard A — as long as one of the devices is USB 3.0 compliant.

I have a Brother DTG printer which I purchased with a camera alignment system that has been very unreliable since Day-1. The cable that came with the camera was not long enough to reach a computer, even sitting butted up to the printer. The Brother tech that installed our printer recommended an active extension from Amazon. The camera has not been stable from the beginning, requiring a USB reset between almost every snap. This cable has made all the difference in the world. It has never lost connection or display erroneous images. Brother needs to include this in every Acculine order.

I purchased this 6′ Pearstone USB 3 Extension Cable to extend the reach from my computer to a Lenovo 3.0 Secure Hard Drive, which was functioning fine with a 3′ extension cable. The Pearstone is advertised to handle both charging and data transfer. It did light up the secure hard drive; however, when the code was entered on the hard drive to initiate a hand shake, the drive consistently went dark and ceased communicating with the Pearstone. It may be that his hard drive is too demanding to work with any cable over 3′ without active assistance – although 6′ is still pretty short. But, this Pearstone cable did not do the job.

Sometimes you need more than 6 or 10 feet between your computer and you USB device. One can usually go up to 16 feet without a problem but if you need to go farther than that you need a high quality cable with a booster to ensure that your data arrives intact. Whether connecting hard drives, printers or tethering cameras, longer cables more susceptible to interference, data loss and and diminished voltage and can wreak havoc on your files. One can protect oneself by investing in a quality cable like this.
