Hi Bob,

Whatever you what me to test - 1m is workable.
Still intrigued about the length leads to noise problem.

So now the weirdest thing. I am putting a new floor in my office and had to move everything into a spare bedroom. All my runs of USB from my computer (printer, scanner, and multiple test machines) now were much longer than before. I wanted to get up and running but the only longer USB cables I had were the longer Matrix which "do not work." One by one I hooked up my gear and as I plugged each one in the computer recognized the device and functioned perfectly. I am fully up and running without a single hiccup with cables that were rejected by high end equipment. So...what exactly are they doing that is different than standard USB configurations? All incredibly curious. I will continue to work on this but in the last three years Cerious has sold only 5% of its total sales in interconnect over 1 meter long. Perhaps making the best sounding USB cable in the world that is only 1M long will have to do...

Glad to know unexplained, strange, hard to believe, hard to describe, things happen even to the Audio Gurus. LOL!

You should consider the fact that the problem lprules1962 had with your USB cable was an isolated incident. It's also possible that your 1m cable would not have worked in his system either.

I'm quite sure the problem stemmed from his Sonnet Allegro Pro USB 3.1 card. My Stealth Audio USB T-Select cable doesn't work on my computer's USB 3.1 outlets either. I used the USB 2.0 outlets to A/B test the JCAT USB card.

With all due respect, I think it's too soon for you to limit your USB cable sales to only 1 meter in length. You should evaluate the issue further with other customers that use completely different systems just as you did in your own system.

lprules1962 now has the JCAT Femto card and it shouldn't have a problem with your USB cables at any length.
