Apollo X8 Gen 2 Good So Far

By Troy
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-12

I have my Universal Audio Apollo X8 Gen 2 in a rack a few feet from my MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2023) and this cable is working as it should so far. I will come back and post again if anything goes wrong.

Expensive, but it works

I got this cable to use with the CAT control on one of my amateur radios. No issues with it picking up RF and locking up the radio, so I would say it is worth it.
