Quality usb cables

Just wondering if anyone knows where to get good quality usb cable prefferebly in uk ??? Or any recommendations ??? 1 mtre is hard to find…

Yes.

Buy them from the DJTT Store, they have been acquired and should be in the store anytime now ;D

Woo DJTT Brings the awesome! Again!

now with all the goodness of ferrets :smiley:

Dunno if your on Mac but in all honesty the best USB and FireWire cables ive used and will only use are Apples own brand . They fit snug and theres no wobble at all.

all the old hdd sony mp3 players used to come with ferrites for the usb cables:

loved that thing to death, if it hadnt been crippled with ATRAC format and sonicstage crapware, it might’ve given the ipod a run for its money>

luckily some guy wrote a simple drag and drop software app you could store on the device itself and it was very useful indeed!

Not quite right, Ive found a supplier and am now sorting the order, but there is a 6 week lead time…

you mean…6 week USB lead time? !

Anyone!?!?! AMIRITE?!!

hi 5

Anyone heard anything good/bad about the usb’s that light up colors when connected?

ps..my lacie hard drive came with ferrites on all usb and firewire cables. Maybe you can swap with someone who has one. :slight_smile:

Hey…I found these that have internal ferrites. Midifidler, I’m sure you’ve already seen these. Any thoughts?

Nice find

Also the usb cables with the LED are cool looking, but they draw some power away from your gear, not alot but you dont want to risk it. I would rather drop the extra cash on cert. hi speed usb cables than the ones with leds

very true. I only saw a few guys using them here in the city with Serato and wondered about them. I actually thought they would make their own noise, but many sites endorse. I’ve also seen ones where the whole cable glows and blinks when data is transfered. I guess it all for show. Yet, the security of knowing it’s plugged in? Like you said, I’d rather get the better cable. I don’t know enough about specs to know if those internal ferrite cables are worth it, but thought I’d share.

Yeah those ferrite impregnated cables are probably pretty decent.

Though Im not sure if having ferrite over the whole surface of the cable is really any better, thats more shielding than filtering

I would lose my mind if the damn cable glows, when I play in clubs I usually have to turn the brightness of my macbook, and the I turn on my SE (the deathstar) and it nearly blinds me.

Now add a glowing usb cable, plus some jagerbombs & its over!

I forgot where I saw the others…I’ll keep checking. But in the meantime. Here’s one:

Sorry Jes…

Aren’t they needing to be filtered because they weren’t shielded? I’m not trying to be a wise ass…I really don’t know… I assume that if the whole cable is shielded, it would be better. But noobs always assume :smiley:

USB 2.0 standard compliant cables have to be shielded anyway, this is normally achieved using copper foil wrapped around the inner conductors, using ferrite in the same manner shields rather than filters.

Though I gotta think bout that some more, maybe using ferrite as a shield has some advantages over copper foil.

They both protect against different types of interference, what the coppershielding doesnt protect you from the ferrite will.

Do you write ads for SkyMall?

No should i ? Do they pay well ? :stuck_out_tongue:

Any news on these USB cables turning up in the store?
