Topic: Where to buy a USB 3.0 cable for Fireface UFX+ in USA

I cannot find a USB 3.0 Type A cable for my Fireface UFX+ since the Thunderbolt drivers are malfunctioning on my new 2020 MSI GS75 notebook (maybe because this new TB3 notebook model just came out a few weeks ago).

I searched Amazon and everywhere in the USA, all the USB A cables are 2.0 and mostly marketed for printers.  Even the RME Shop Parts site does not have the original USB cable.

I found a USB 3.0 type A from Lindy in UK, but I need the cable faster....

I tried the Babyface Pro FS cable on the UFX+ but its 2.0...

This is a very hard cable to find!

Absolutely amazing statement - unless you looked for the wrong cable:

Ok I feel like an idiot, I never realized that a USB B 2.0 cable (MI/printer type) without the top part of the 3.0 can fit into a 3.0 socket.  I thought the UFX+ was the B 2.0 type. 

I guess I had only seen this type of USB B on monitors before and never paid attention on my UFX+ as I misplaced my original one and I've been using TB...

Thanks MC!
