Push 3 USB C cable length
Will the Push 3 work with a longer USB C cable? The supplied one is only 1m.
2m would be good, or 3m even better.
What speed rating is needed?
Does it need a special type?

It's a USB 2.
It works with other cables, but if you're using P3 as an audio interface with other cables be warned that it might introduce some (way too much) noise.
I only tried with USB-C to USB-A cables that don't have ferrite; I guess the ferrite on the stock cable does its job correctly in "removing" noises (but that's just a guess, maybe something else was involved?)
No problem when using it just as a midi controller.

Thanks again jur, if it is a USB 2 spec then it maxes at 480Mb/s and I can use another cable. As only digital signal goes down it, no noise can be added to the audio, but the ferrite cores may reduce data error/resend (which can be cause by signal noise).
I messaged the support team and will update here if they give a detailed answer.

I’d be happy to hear if you get a response.

Hello! I just purchased a 5m USB-C Cable from Lindy.
The Cable works with Push as a remote controller, i haven't used it as an audio interface yet.
What's interesting is that Power Delivery doesn't work anymore at that distance, so you have to use the included power adapter.
I also tried one of the unidirectional 10m Video Cables, but they don't work at all which i understand since push needs a bi-directional connection.

Re: Push 3 USB C cable length
I use a usb extension cable which is high quality but very long. I have had no problems but I generally use it only to create templates for push SA.
Re: Push 3 USB C cable length
I need something approx 5m long.
Can those who’ve purchased stuff that works post the exact model cable they got? I’ve read some reports of longer cables not working and some of the Lindy ones are pricey!
