USB 3.0 powered repeater cable for d800?

[jenner]

Looking to purchase a USB 3.0 powered repeater cable around 60' long that will definitely work with the Nikon d800. Does anyone have experience with a brand or specific cable that will work? Really don't want to order a cable and find out it will not work or that it gives issues of disconnecting.

 

Thanks

Your are mixing concepts

 

A repeater cable will amplify (repeat) the data signal, it does not provide power.

 

A powered hub provides power to your devices, it does not amplify data signal.

 

Most repeater cable will work fine; I've used a cheap 30' cable for years without issues.

 

I have my 30' repeater cable connected to a powered USB hub near the telescope.  This way the powered hub gets a boosted signal from the repeater cable and I have never had any issues.

Sounds good! Just didn't want to purchase an expensive cable and find out I will have issues with it.

 

Thanks again , I'll be ordering a cable right away! Right now I just have the trial version of backyardnikon and it works flawlessly on my d800! I only downloaded it last night but just messing around with it for a few hours I know I'll be purchasing the premium version. Excellent software!!

 

Thanks again
