[QUOTE="aroy, post: 205161, member: 16090"] I had the same problem with my monitor VGA cable. I wanted a 6' cable. I tried all the after market cables - 5', 10', 15' but the monitor would work for couple of seconds and then it would be all over the place. The signal was getting corrupted and it was loading the graphics card. Ultimately I just joined two normal VGA cables (over 8 years old) and it was all fine. At times for longer distance a signal booster is required. With high speed data the cable, specifications are extremely important. Any deviation and there will be drop in signal at the best and loss of communications at the worst. As USB 3 is a high frequency standard the cables have to be perfect. I suggest that you try all alternative cables available, and if longer cables do not work you may try the following . Check the connection with two or more short cables keep them if OK. . Join the shorter cables with a USB 3 compliant hub. If it works fine, else . Get a USB 3 compliant booster. [/QUOTE]
