Can I use a 15 foot usb 3.0 cable with the fd1003 dock?

Yes I think it should work. Just make sure to get right kind of connectors on the end - the one that plugs into the dock is the small square like those used by printers.

Thanks for your message dear.But I am sorry to tell you that the item cannot been used as a USB3.0 dock.

No. The dock itself has a 30 pin connector port to fit the supplied cable. The other end of the cable is standard USB.

From what I've read, the length limit on USB 3 is about 3 meters. Possibly a special 15' cable would work, I don't know. My cables on these are 6' and work fine.

My micro USB connection wasn't working to charge any more, so I got the dock, and it's better and faster than the USB charge ever was. It connects with the four small metal connectors on the lower left edge. If you have those, it should be compatible. (The later model doesn't have them)

Possible but unlikely. The dock is threaded and slotted for the ports on the laptop. The 15 and 13 inch have different arrangements so they won't work

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?

This cable does not meet USB 3 specifications. You will need a different cable altogether if your device requires USB 3.

No, it won't work because each dock is made only for a certain laptop. However, for the 15 inch dock there are two HengeDock models because some 15 inch computers have a different port alignment. You should go to HengeDocks.com and order one from there. When I ordered mine they checked my port alignment and made sure I ordered the right one. The people selling this on Amazon are mixing up the two models sometimes sending one and sometimes sending the other, so its not worth the hassle. The official website of the makers tell you exactly which dock to buy, send you the right one, and they also are only $5 more than what Amazon is selling it for. You can buy one from their website for $69 last time I checked.

I am not sure. The dock is designed to connect to a computer Thunderbolt port for greater performance. Renaldo Wheatley

The IPad 3 can be used with the dock but I think you'll need a lightning to 30 pin adapter which you'll have to attach to the USB port via a 30 pin cord. Hope this helps.

No. One of the TB ports is the one that connects the dock to your computer.

I bought mine from Apple, when I bought my MacBook Pro, and it did include a short cable (approx. 18"). It may depend on the configuration that you order. The same drive will fit multiple docks, each with different connectors. Mine had the Thunderbolt dock for the drive. My guess is that it would come with whichever cable you need for the dock that you bought. (The listing says that it includes a 0.5 meter cable, where it compares the GoFlex, GoDesk, and other configurations.)

sure. but most usb 3 hubs have some sort of cable either hard wired, or included. typically, they have between 3-6 feet of length. so you may not need this.

Doesn't matter. It is a serial connection, USB 1.1 would work. The bigger question is if your USB cable is active / if you go over 15 feet you may have issues with a passive extension cable. You could place a powered hub in the middle and that would work out OK...

Mine came with a cable for the 3.0 header and one that just plugged into a spare port if you don't have the header. I didn't try it, but I assume that the USB cable just turns the device into a powered hub.
