Tips

For best performance, avoid daisy-chaining more than one extension cable, as signal degradation may occur over longer total lengths. When connecting high-power devices, ensure the host port can supply sufficient current. The blue colour of the connector indicates USB 3.0 capability, making it easy to distinguish from older USB 2.0 cables.
