So I have a Black Magic Intensity Pro Shuttle capture card that runs through USB 3.0, so obviously it comes with a small 4ft USB 3.0 cable. This isn't long enough for my use so I bought a 15ft. A to B USB 3.0 cable and the device won't read as a SuperSpeed connection with it, so I'm confused. Anybody have any ideas? Maybe a 10ft. USB 3.0 extension would work better? Or is there powered USB 3.0 cable? Thanks for any help.
15ft USB 3.0 cable won't read as USB 3.0?

From my experience, you're lucky to get any cable longer than 6 ft. to work properly. That's about the maximum length a USB cable can be before performance drops.

if you want to go longer than that you need a device to help send a signal i believe its usb into rj45

Or a powered USB hub.
