I want to take advantage of faster transfer rates for USB3
( tethering works fine for me with USB2 extension cable )
I bought generic USB 3 extension cable 5 m put extra power adapter in it
( as recommended ) nut no go on my most recent MAC ( yosemite )
any suggestions for USB 3 extension roughly 3 - 5 m cable that works
( I use original Canon USB 3 connector cable close to the camera )

Hi Jann,
Just to check it is cable related or something else, have you tried a short(er) cable?
Cheers,
Bart

It is cabl erelated issue -
I want 5 m cable - so I bought active version.
( that has a power input for 5V converter that I have and checked both with and without )
Old school 5 m USB cable ( not active ) works flawlessly - but of course has lower transfer rate .

Did you find the solution?
I evaluate the same currently. As I remember I read somewhere the additional cable is limited in a certain length, about 1m, and I think the original canon cable is 1.2m. Could be a solution. Thats why I hesitated buying a "powered" extension cable till now.
Good luck and keep us updated!
