Monoprice USB 3.0 Type-A Male to Female Extension Cable - 98.4ft Fiber Optic SlimRun Silver - High Speed Data Transfer for Home Office, Server Rooms & AV Equipment

I had bad experiences with the other format of SlimRun optical cables, but I thought maybe Monoprice had gotten it right with this cable. Turns out I was wrong. The cable just doesn't work. USB 3.0 devices attached to it just constantly reset. Sometimes even unplugging it from a running computer results in a freeze requiring a hard reboot of the machine. This happens even on USB 3.0 devices that don't require power from the cable, so it is definitely a cable issue as passive extension cables work just fine.Things to Note:The cable uses hubs to extend the length, so you need to watch out for that due to USB hub daisy chaining limits. This isn't mentioned anywhere in the description. Also the cable's metal casings get uncomfortably hot during operation, even at low bit rates.I'm guessing Monoprice changed owners as their cable quality is garbage now compared to years go.
