Hi,
I bought a Matrox DS1 thunderbolt dock which offers to use USB 3.0 with my 2011 MBP.
I bought two 5 meters USB cables for ten EUR each on ebay.
But I only get a USB 2.0 connection.
CanĀ“t find the original 5 ft. Nikon cable, but a 5 ft. cable from an external HD enables USB 3.0 speed with the camera. I can check the status of the connection in the System overview of the OS (= 10.8.5).
Nikon support told me between two and three meters was the maximum for USB 3.0. If the connection is not good enough, it will be automatically downgraded to USB 2.0.
So what experiences did you make? Will a tethertools 15 ft. cable work?
Thanks,
Bernd
