What USB cable for the Eleven Rack?

[Alexrkstr]

Hi all, I just bought a used Eleven Rack and I want to make sure I buy the right USB cable to go with it. Can you guys please share what type of cable I should be using?

Option 1) http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-U...0_SR160%2C160_

Option 2) http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-US...0_SR160%2C160_

Option 3) http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-US...high+speed+2.0

They all look the same to me and I read that any USB cable should work. Any input?

Option 1 and 3 look good. Option 2 is a 16 foot cable, which is right at the length limit for USB, so I would avoid that one.

Option 3 is 6 foot, has the right connectors and is in stock, all of which make it a good choice.

So I gather that there are no special requirements for the USB cable. Any of these will work.

Yes. It is digital transmission. They work all the same if they are not broken. Just get one with connectors matching your gear.

Cheapo connectors might have looser tolerances so use a caliper to check. My friend had massive issues with Command8 dropping out, but a cable switch healed it completely. Later when we compared cables, the cheapo was 0.5mm smaller than Belkin brand cable that works perfectly.

That's true, it's better to avoid the 'lowest price offer' I believe :) Good solid middle is my choice.

If a good cable costs 10 euros and you could get something thrown in, which would you choose?
