Advantages of USB 3.0
Speed:
High-bandwidth-device performance improves with USB 3.0 support. Currently, devices
that tax the throughput of USB 2.0 include external hard drives, video capture, webcams, video adapters,
multi-channel audio interfaces and Blu-ray burners. High end flash drives can also over-burden USB 2.0
and oftentimes, if multiple devices are connected through a hub, throughput may suffer. USB 3.0
expands the transfer paths and provides more headroom for devices to deliver a better overall
user experience.
Cable Length:
Thinklogical USB 3.0 Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) Extenders enable users to
extend beyond the approximate three-meter cable limit for USB 3.0 peripheral devices. Devices can
now be located up to 100 meters from the computer.
Power:
The enhancements to SuperSpeed USB are not just for higher data rates, but for improving the
interaction between device and host computer, including power use and management:
80% more power is available for configured devices (900 mA up from 500 mA)
Note: Thinklogical USB 3.0 Extenders are NOT compatible with USB 2.0 or 1.1
systems or devices.
