Product Description:
Tripp Lite's 16-ft. USB Certified 2.0 active extension cable is a bus powered extension cable that can be used to increase the length of a device cable without the worry of signal loss and potential performance problems. USB limits a cable's length to 16ft. any length above 16 feet requires the use of an active cable such as this one. This cable has a signal booster built in. The overall cable length can be extended up to 80ft by daisy chaining up to 5 of these active cables. The cable must be plugged directly into a USB port (either on the PC or a hub). Use a standard 6' 10' or 15' USB cable to reach the desired distance.

- Works as advertised
I Recently bought two Tripp lite USB2 16ft. active extension cables to hook up my PC to my Epson 1400 printer which was on a table 25ft away. Transfer speeds seemed to be acceptable for large pictures and I like the way the USB plugs light up when powered so there is no guess work whether the hook up is good. The only down side was that the cables were a bright braided silver not black as in Amazons sales picture, so I had to do some fasttalking and a lot of cable hiding to convince my wife that ...

Rating: - Works Perfectly as an extension for my USB Network Adapter
1st: I noticed from the bar code number that it was made in the USA;
so, it's a relief knowing it's not just another piece of crap from China.
2nd: It seems to be very well made (but then it should be for the price).
3rd: It performs very well as a USB Repeater. My Linksys WUSB300N USB
Network Adapter performs perfectly using this as a 16 foot extension.
Getting my USB Adapter in front of a Window really improves the signal
strength (although even then, ... Read More

- what?
If this is the extension cord for my Sirius, it's lovely, but I haven't used it yet.

- These cables work great with my wireless adapter!
My office is essentially located in a concrete bunker.The router is too far away to run ethernet cables, so I bought two of these cables to get the wireless adapter for my computer outside the office where I can get a better connection.Out of the bag both cables worked great.I'm now getting a great reliable wireless connection from my Linksys N router, which beats the pants off the dial-up connection I had before.
Rating: - Does what it says
I give this 5 stars because it works as advertised and I really dont have anything else to compare it with apart from the regular usb extension cables. I needed it to extend the distance of my logitech quickcam pro 9000 and it works just as it would if plugged in directly. One improvement would be to make the cable thinner but I guess it needs to be that thick to do what it needs to do. This is a recommended buy.
