Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

The Vivolink PROUSB3AAF30 is a 30 m USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) active optical cable with USB A connectors at both ends. It supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s, is compatible with USB 2.0 devices, and has gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity. The black cable is intended for reliable long-distance USB signal transmission where a standard copper cable would not reach.

Advantages

This Vivolink optical USB cable enables long-distance USB 3.2 Gen 1 connections while maintaining up to 5 Gbit/s throughput and backward compatibility with USB 2.0. Gold-plated contacts enhance signal contact quality, and the active optical design reduces signal loss over the 30 m length. The cable uses USB A to USB A connectors, simplifying connection to standard host and device ports that accept A-to-A cables.

Suitable for

  • Connecting USB devices at extended distances (up to 30 m)
  • Applications requiring stable 5 Gbit/s USB 3.2 Gen 1 links
  • Setups where copper cables cannot provide reliable signal quality
  • Compatibility with USB 2.0 equipment

Key specifications

  • Model: PROUSB3AAF30
  • Brand: VivoLink
  • Connectors: USB A — USB A
  • USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0 / 3.1 Gen 1)
  • Maximum data rate: 5 Gbit/s
  • Length: 30 m
  • Colour: Black
  • Weight: 0.55 kg
  • Contacts: Gold-plated

How to use

Connect one USB A plug to the host (PC, hub or other USB host) and the other USB A plug to the USB device. Ensure both ends are firmly seated. Perform a connection test before permanent installation to verify device recognition and data throughput, since some USB 3.0 products on the market may not accept fiber-based extensions. No special drivers are normally required; the cable functions as an active optical extension for standard USB protocols.

Recommendations

Before final installation, test the cable with the specific host and device to confirm full USB 3.2 Gen 1 functionality. If the connected equipment does not accept fiber extension, consider alternative cabling or a different device configuration.
