    Weird USB disconnects and reconnects since reorganizing office


    The other day I move my PC. Other than maybe changing some USB wires. I had to extend my USB 3.0 cable to reach the monitor. I have not measured, but I would guess it is nearly 10' going to a hub on my monitor and I have another un-powered up connected to that. There is only one USB device plugged in.

    Since doing this work I have been getting period USB disconnect and reconnect sounds. I have checked the event viewer and saw this. Can anyone help me trouble shoot from here?

    Hi.

    Disconnect all USB cables from the system except the 10 foot one using the same USB port. Reboot and check again. If no good, try another USB 3.x port.
    Is your PC a Desktop? Check that nothing came loose internally, just in case.

    If that doesn't solve the issue, I have a question:

    Has this 10 foot cable been tested on another system? Who makes it?

    TIA

    As far as the cable, I can only say I had no issues before the wiring. It is the same cable, but could be in a different port. I will give your tips and try and get back to you.

    Does Device Manager have any warning flags ?
    With the device plugged in and in Device Manager,select View>devices by connection>plug & play software device enumerator>action>scan for hardware changes.
    Also in View,try the "Update Driver"option.

    Yes, that helped. I had checked earlier and saw nothing, but thought to check back as this seems to be a transient condition. Now, there was a flag on one usb entry.

    I guessed it might be related to the cable in question. The cable I am referring to is actually two cables connected end to end- a USB 3.0 Extension Cable Type A Male to Female

    which is plugged into a mainboard USB 3.0 port. The other end is connected to a USB 3.0 Cable - A-Male to B-Male

    which is then plugged into the USB hub built into my monitor.

    I have disconnected the USB 3.0 A to B Cable and the error flag disappears immediately. I plugged in my wireless headset USB dongle into the end of the extension cable and it has been working flawlessly. This leads me to think the problem is related to either the USB 3.0 Cable - A-Male to B-Male or the usb hub in the monitor.

    Do you have another cable to test with? Kind of interesting that this happened after a move.

    This cable is the one in question now and no, I don't have another.

    As far as this happening after the move, that is correct, but reminds me my original statement was incorrect. I did make a change and it was this cable and trying to use the monitor USB hub. I did not use these before.

    What are the odds the cable is bad? The monitor USB hub is bad?

    USB 3.x works at 5G bps or higher. USB cable are made with some twisted pair cables.
    Long USB 3.x cable won't work.
    Try to plug on a USB 2.0 port.

    The cable length was the issue. I was able to rewire using shorter cable lengths and the issue is gone. Thank you guys for all your help!

    I also have a 12 foot low-loss USB 3.x Cable. Works fine. Did you buy a no-name?
    The USB 3.0 spec is good for about 9 feet.
