Ordinary cable without data brake

To have to crawl to connect my card reader and the external backup disk does not always behind the computer had a USB 3.0 extension cable forth. These are available at Amazon dime a dozen and so I decided to first for something inexpensive with the effect that the connection constantly broke and the transfer rates in the functional case were considerably lower than the motherboard directly. Here I realized quickly that USB cable is not the same USB cable. The next attempt was the cable by Delock and here I definitely made the right grip.

The cable comes almost a bit exaggerated consuming packaged in a plastic bag along with Pappeinleger therefore. At first I did curse before, but then I saw that the packaging on the back of the plastic has a perforation and thus can be opened easily. The first impression of the cable is very good. Plug, jack and the cable itself give an impression of high quality. The cable has a diameter of 5.6 mm and, according to packaging is the inner pipe diameter for the data lines 0.321 mm (28 AWG) for the power supply and 0.511 mm (24 AWG). This sounds little, but is quite reasonable because there are cables that are bidding less and are thus more susceptible to transmission errors and problems associated with the transfer rates.

The total length from the exterior of the plug to the socket is just under 104 cm, with the actual cable has a length of 93.5 cm. The plug together with kink protection is 57.6 mm relatively long while the bearing with kink protection with 46.1 mm having a relatively normal level. Male and female are edged by a red metallic-colored metal casing. Oddly enough, the colors are different: the red of the female is dark and shines less. Top and bottom of each gold printed with the logo or Delock USB 3.0 logo.

Plugging and unplugging equipment or another cable into the jack goes in my opinion, relatively normal, and then the whole quite tightly seated, but what I find totally fine.

But now the most important thing: speed. I first using ATTO Disk Benchmark for a card reader (82 MB / sec.) And an external hard drive (97 MB / sec.) Determines the read and write speed. Selbiger test was repeated again with the cable plugged between the connection. When card readers were found to be "unfavorable" the cable minimal differences of a few hundred kilobytes, the more likely the measurement tolerance, however, are owed. If the external hard drive again, the results are nearly identical and differ little from one another. All in all, carries the cable data without slowing from A to B.

CONCLUSION: a neatly processed cable, that the data transfer does not slow. Thanks to the attractive design you can also dangle like an extension on your desktop.
