I'm using this because the USB 3.0 Cable that came with my Dell D3100 Docking Station was two short. I had a need to place my computer 3 feet away from the dock, but the provided cable was 18 inches. So, I bought this cable and voila, problem solved.

This is a pretty decent connecting cable. I like the fact they upgraded the 2.0 cable and finally now have the USB 3.0!

I lost the cable on my usb 3 hub and needed a new one to get the best throughput from my scanner, cd drive, and storage tower. This was the only cable that they had in the store that fit the bill and was compatible. I've been happy with it and haven't noticed any degradation of performance from the original cable. It seems to be very well made with decent materials. I'd get another one if I needed one again.

Insignia 3.0 USB cable

I have an LG external blu-ray player/recorder hooked up to my Dell desktop computer. I originally connected to my Dell with a 2.0 cable. Decided to upgrade to the 3.0 cable as my new Dell desktop supports USB 3.0. I have noticed some improvement in the speed in ripping cd's and recording to dvd's. Overall, it is worth the small investment spent.

Bought it to enable USB 3.0 features on my new ICOM ham radio. It was just what I needed. Almost walked out of the store without buying it. Sales rep said they didn't have it but when I walked around the store I saw it on the shelf.

Wrong Cable

Accidentally picked up the wrong cable. This would only be good if you're using it for electronics close to each other that won't move though since the cord isn't long. Easy return procedure even though I opened the package.

Excellent Data Speeds, Cable a Bit Stiff

It's a cable that does it's job. The data transfer speeds are excellent. Only issue is that the cable is a bit too thick (lots of shielding?) and can be difficult to bend around desk legs.

So I bought this ACER T232HL touch screen. It didnt come with a cable for the USB 3.0 connection. I went to best buy and got a deal!! also saved 5 dollars as I had a best buy cash thing they send you once you reach a certain level. So i got this on sale for 5 something. Basic plug and play and my touch screen worked!!

Look. It's a cable. It isn't very exotic. The connectors both fit, One goes into the computer and the other end goes into my external hard drive. I couldn't be happier. In short It works fine. Lasts a long time. Won't rust. Won't bust. It's a product that I trust.

I bought this cord when I was in store to purchase a Brother - HL-L2360DW. Insignia products have always performed well for me, at a great price, and this cord has been no different. No issues and speed seems to be just fine.

There is nothing worse than needing a cable that you can't find. Best Buy has always had what I have needed and their Insignia brand cables are affordable and do the job. It works as advertised.
