I have a rather nice little Motic C-mount camera, but the USB 3.0 cable that came with it is bulky, heavy, and too stiff !

Type A connector for the computer, and the’double-decker’ Type B for the camera … The big problem is the clip-on Ferrite, located on a loop of cable near the camera connector.

 

First : A question for our Electronics experts … Does the Ferrite need to be located at the camera-end or would it still do its job if located near the mid-point of the cable ?

Second : can anyone suggest a suitable replacement cable ? … Flat and/or Flexible, and preferably without an enormous Ferrite contraption on it.

Thanks

Just unclip the ferrite and do without it ....i've never found that they make any difference

or relocate to where you want it

Thanks, Ian

I was nervous about doing that, because of stories about USB 3.0 interfering with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
