Q: I bought 2 of these to use with my XBOX Sereis X becuase I wanted to use my corded controller. Funny how either one worked great alone, but when I used them together I got nothing. Must be a length limitation thing. Any ideas?

A: Thank you for your inquiry! Using two Insignia™ 12' USB 3.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension Cables together to extend the length for your corded controller on the Xbox Series X may result in connectivity issues due to factors such as signal degradation, power limitations, or USB 3.0 length restrictions. To address this, consider using an active USB extension cable with built-in electronics to boost the signal over longer distances, ensuring a strong and stable connection. Alternatively, a powered USB hub between the two extension cables can help deliver enough power to your controller, preventing voltage drops over long distances. If possible, opt for a shorter extension cable, as USB 3.0 cables have a recommended maximum length of about 9.8 feet (3 meters) for optimal performance. Using a single longer active USB extension cable, rather than two passive ones, can maintain signal integrity over greater distances. Additionally, using a USB repeater, which regenerates the USB signal, can allow for longer connections without data loss. Finally, ensure the cables are of high quality and rated for USB 3.0 to provide adequate shielding and performance. These solutions can help maintain a stable connection for your corded controller over extended lengths.

Plugable - USB-C Extension Cable 3.3 Ft, Power Meter Tester, Fast Charging up to 240W, 4K 60Hz Display, 10Gbps Data - Black

The Plugable USB 10Gbps Type-C Extension Cable with Built-In 240W Power Meter with Male and Female connection (USBC-METER3-1MF) has a lot going for it. For starters, it’ll extend your current USB-C cord by 3.3’ (1m) and deliver up to 240W of charging power. That means you can combine this USB-C fast charging cable with your laptop’s USB-C charging cables to give you (and your laptop) a little extra room to move around. When extending an equally capable Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C data cable with charging, like the Plugable USB4-240W-1M USB-C data cable with charging, get 240W Extended Power Range support or support for video Alt Mode at up to 4K 60Hz. This USB-C to C cable also supports impressive 10Gbps data transfer speeds. And, as nice as it is to have, the most innovative feature isn’t the braided cord or the aluminum housing. The most unique feature of the Plugable USB-C cable to USB-C is the built-in USB-C power meter, sometimes called a Watt meter. Now you can monitor your power draw and consumption, use it as a USB cable tester to see if all of your laptop’s USB-C ports deliver the same charge, and finally find out if that “Super Best Fast Speed Charger” you ordered (I mean, it was so cheap how could you resist) actually delivers the charge it claims on the package. Built-In Power Meter – Measure your power flow and consumption with real-time monitoring on the digital power meter. 240W Extended Power Range – The first USB-C extension cable with a power meter capable of 240W power delivery. 4K 60Hz Video – Supports video over USB Alternate Mode at up to 4K 60Hz. Compatibility – Compatible with most USB-C devices; actual performance depends on connected devices
