What happened to the DJ Tech Tools USB Cables? Posted on: 14.02.2012 by Bulah Author Hi, I can't find these in the shop: http://www.djranking s.com/2009/06/1...js-20-ferrite/ I started looking into getting a good usb cable and good old google pulled up this old DJ Tech Article. Any other recommendations if this is no longer sold on DJTT ? Also any recommendations on power conditioners while you're at it. I found this but it's very pricey: http://www.zzounds.com/item--MONPRO1000 Cheers Nelson

Cliff Lohman 15.02.2012	Originally Posted by dookiex A bad USB cable basically will either not work altogether or you may get drop outs in which the device basically loses power intermittently. That's basically all that could really go wrong with USB cables. The whole thing is digital so degradation isn't really a problem like it is with analogue cables (such as your audio cables). Either you have a live connection or you don't. Thats been my experience as well.. Dont really see what the point of the ferrites are except for costing alot more..
Clinton Voran 15.02.2012	Originally Posted by kevz718 Ive never experienced any issues with usb cables regardless of how cheap they were. Once or twice ive had a usb cable completely die or physically break but never experienced any connectivity issues on a working cable.. What exactly happens when u get noise? Signals dont consistently pass thru or something? A bad USB cable basically will either not work altogether or you may get drop outs in which the device basically loses power intermittently.

Suzanna Paddock 18.02.2012	The only USB cable that's gone bad for me was the one that came with my NI Audio8. :} Anyways, there are tons of good quality USB cables, ferrite and all, at your local salvation army. At a $1 a piece, you can't go wrong.

Bulah Author 14.02.2012	Excellent thanks
Brunilda Kora 14.02.2012	Dunno about the USB cables. They always seemed super expensive when you can buy ferrite clamps for your existing cables for next to nothing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Pcs-Dat...item3f138e0aad Enough clamps there to do 5 cables.
