Why is this cable better than the one that uses the sabrent USB->Serial drivers? Is it because it's 3x more expensive?

Can't say. I haven't been able to get the software to work. The cable works, I can read what's in the HT, but haven't been able to get it to write anything. I am using the software on the website "chirp" so it should work.

I'm not sure what drivers you're referring to but I don't think it's any better. I have the real cheap one that shipped from China and it is as good. I didn't even have to install the driver. I order the more expensive one because I wanted it sooner after I saw the expected delivery date. The cheap one came only a few days later.

The newer model is actually cheaper for some unknown reason. As far as I can tell that is the only difference since USB 3.0 is backwards compatable with USB 2.0 ports.

Hi, Not exactly sure why I have this cable...related to a firmware upgrade by connecting from the scope to the PC? You may need an extra cable with a USB on one end, and male compatible adaptor on the other end. I picked up this extra cable from Fry's electronics.Best regards,Tom

Sorry, I don't remember. It was a bad experience across the board. Save yourself some aggravation, buy the Vantec NexStar HX 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0/eSATA HDD Enclosure with Fan NST-330SU3-BK (copy & paste in Amazon's search). Handles Sata II with throughput via USB 3.0 and eSata. Sure it's an extra $13-14, but shipping is free, not with the Sabrent (assuming a single purchase).

From my understanding of sata cables they are all the same. It is the transmission protocol that is different. That being said, this thing is totally passive. It just is a smaller configuration of the same connection. I would be looking at whether your ssd actually reaches 6gbps speeds. Most don't come close- that's a potential 750 Mb/sec. The bottle necks on these things have a lot more to do with the ssd's controller than the actual cable itself.

The one sold by iXCC and fulfilled by Amazon is a great cable at a good price - NOTE the packaging shown on this page, that is what it should look like. Several merchants got in on this product page and are shipping bogus knockoff cables; beware. DMJ Products can be added to the list of sellers shipping the wrong cable.

I have a windows 7, I needed the lastest driver for Sabrent and that's all. Try to on the sabrents main website and try to find the driver for it. It might work I'm not sure. If it doesn't then you have to use a windows 7 computer. I hope this helped.

I would assume so if this is the type of cable you need to update the firmware. Most PC's don't have the serial port any more so I used a USB converter for my Nexstar 8iXLT. They only had one update since purchased 10 years ago but thought to bring the scope up to date as much as I could. The process was painless but slow due to the serial type connection.

The USB portion of the device is rather tricky to use though it worked for me on first attempt because of certain circumstances. First I ordered the entire kit (meter, cable and software from a Chinese firm called Gain Express. They are reputable I have now purchased this kit for each of my test locations and for my technical crews. The second and what I only figured out today after my test facility told me they couldn't get it to work on their system is that you must run this program in XP SP3 compatibility mode. (Accomplish this buy Right Clicking on the program and selecting properties. Moving to the compatibility tabs and running in the above mentioned OS). After all this is accomplish a more expensive meter might have been a better choice but hope is not lost just stick with me. To finally read data on your computer screen you will need to have installed any serial converter to USB driver. Because of the nature of what I do this was done on my PC well before I ever bought this meter but this is a relatively rare driver. You can find this driver here (http://www.drivermax.com/driver/update/Ports/Gigaware/Gigaware-USB-to-Serial-Cable/481626) take care to download the drive and not click on the deceptive add in the page. Lastly the cable and meter logger software can be found from gain express at the URL below http://www.gainexpress.com/products/cdc-sl814cd-optional-software-cd-usb-cable-for-sound-level-meter Once you have installed the logger software and the serial to USB driver and change to run in compatibility mode you will need to reboot your PC to enable all changes and it should work for you. Hope this helps but I know this process is a pain. However I would rather spend 15 dollars on additional cables and 30 minutes in setup than buy 300 dollars at the cheapest meter that will work seamlessly

You can go cheap and get a standard Kenwood style programming cable (USB to Serial Kenwood connector)for about $8 here on Amazone, but you risk getting a pirated Prolific chip for the USB to serial part. If that happens you can use an older driver, but if your Windows is set to auto update you risk the new driver downloading and being unable to use your cable.I recommend getting a cable based on the FTDI chipset rather than the Prolific.

Not this one - it's the wrong kind of connection type on the peripheral side. You'd want this one instead (Type A to Type B) - Cable Matters SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type A to B Cable in Blue 6 Feet

u dotn need to purchase a new cable. it comes with one. but its usb 3.0 which is faster than the regular usb but its the same connection. im not sure what the opposite end is called. you can look on touro.com for a replacement cable, im sure.

Hi, From the information given, I believe you will are looking for a different cable. This cable can extend a printer cable. Most printers use a cable that has USB-A to USB 2.0-B connectors. This is because routers with USB printing support normally have a USB-A connector. Most printers with USB interface is through a USB-B 2.0 port. Best regards, Bargain Cable

Depends on the computer/laptop a lot of manufactures like to make the connection blue, or have a special symbol. If you look in your computer management->Universal Serial Bus controller you should see one listed as USB 3.0.

No, I assume because so many devices use USB A-B cables, manufacturers typically assume you already have one. You can buy one from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-6-Feet-USB-Certified-Cable/dp/B000067SPP/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1352588507&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+a-b+cable) for as little as $7 including shipping or even less if bundled with another order. Local suppliers may even beat this price but places like office supply stores or Best Buy will likely only stock "name brand" stuff costing a lot more (and which I assure you perform no better).

I'm using the Plugable 2.0 version that the manufacturer suggested above, and it's working like a charm for me, for what it's worth. Might save a couple of bucks since the Pi can't use USB 3.0, and get the same outcome otherwise.

Well it seems that you may be better off ordering this one and the cable after all since this one is 21.95 and the one for the T3i is $57. Don't ask me why there's no logic to it. As best I can tell they are excally the same except for the cable. By the way it works fine with the CL-E3 cable.
