USB 3.0 Speeds Beg for Great cables, Accell Answers
Accell Cables recently announced its signal corrected long distance cables. Designed to support the high bandwidth needs that will accompany the new SuperSpeed USB mode, the cables contain special circuitry to maintain USB 3.0 signal quality which peripherals are particular sensitive at such high speed. Applications (e.g. video editing) that can make use of the amount of data that USB 3.0 will offer will be less tolerant of errors or signal problems. Accell 's cables utilize corrective circuitry that allows them to reach a length of 6 meters. In comparison, hardware and cables previously being tested started to see fatal amounts of errors and jitter after 3 meters, which is the length limit to passive USB 3.0 cable. The new connective technology requires no extra power, and the cables aren't any thicker than today's USB cables and will be available in a variety of lengths while of course the connectors would be larger to accommodate the extra pins.
Video and storage applications will most likely be the first applications that require cables of this quality. Expect to see advanced peripherals and perhaps even a transformation of the computer altogether. USB 3.0 brings data transfer capabilities that have traditionally been restricted to the motherboard. USB video, notebook docks, audio, add on processing units with parallelism and cheap, secure, thin client systems could hit the scenes very quickly taking advantage of game-changing speed that SuperSpeed USB brings. These cables, available in 3m, 4, 5 and 6m, should be available as soon as USB 3.0 devices make their way into the market.
