Hi
Last night I shoot some images with the asi1600mm pro, Orion star shoot guide camera and a usb dew band connected to the usb hub. To reach my imaging laptop I have connected a 3m usb 3 extension cable attached to the blue cable that came with the usb hub. Have the software for the hub and also the ASCOM drivers installed.
My question: is there any known issues running an extension between the hub and the laptop?
I experienced multiple times where images would not download. And SGP would park the scope.
Had to restart the camera every time to get it working again.

Re: Usb extension cable
USB3 protocol does not guarantee reliable transmision for cable more than 3meters.

Re: Usb extension cable
Thanks for the guidance. Will reroute cables and separate the power and usb cables to see if it makes a difference.

Re: Usb extension cable
Question about the provided 1.5m cable. Is the provided cable shielded?
Re: Usb extension cable
Yes of course.
