Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the 6' USB 3.0 File Transfer Cable's quality, fast file transfer speeds, and ease of use. The cable length is also appreciated, as well as the convenience of having a direct USB to USB connection. However, some customers have reported compatibility issues, and others have found the software to be occasionally glitchy and the instructions unclear.

    I purchased a new iMac to find the outlets on the back are for the newer connections and since I needed a standard USB 3.0 connection for most of my items I had to search for a fix. This connector goes into the thunderbolt slot and works great.

    This USB file transfer cable works as it should. It can be used for transferring files from an old PC to a new one, or as I have done from my PC to a HAM radio.

      Thanks, Mark! Love how you’re using the cable not just for PC transfers but also with your HAM radio—great to hear it’s working reliably across different setups!

    it falls a little short as it DOES NOT SUPPORT CarPlay between my iPhone 16 Pro USB-C and 2020 Honda Ridgeline USB-A/B dash interface. It does, however, allow me to use it as a charging cable. Since the cable DOES NOT support the CarPlay function, I CANNOT RECOMMEND IT! New cables that are supposed to work have been ordered!

    While the cable does do its job, the software tool it installs does not always want to play nice with the Windows 11 operating system. The transfers go quickly and are a fairly smooth process but sometimes the files do not want to copy over, giving an error code about the directory being inaccessible even when you're accessing them while signed in as Administrator on both machines. Ultimately, we got the information transferred over using a combination of this cable and traditional USB flash drives.

However, we apologize for any inconvenience you encountered with the software tool and the occasional error messages. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we'll look into ways to improve the compatibility of the software with Windows 11.

    I bought this last minute, because I was giving a presentation and forgot to bring my cables for my projector. That being said, while this product works perfectly for what it's manufactured purpose, it did not work for what I was trying to accomplish with it. Make sure you are only transferring data, and not intending to use this for video. The product name should have warned me away from trying to use it for something other than it was intended for.
