Connect USB printers, scanners, game controllers (like the PS3 DualShock), display adapters, keyboards, etc. from across the room with the Plugable USB2-5M five-meter (16-foot) USB 2.0 extension cable. The USB2-5M extension cable's bus-powered active repeater and premium shielding enable help to ensure efficient data communication at the standard maximum five-meter distance defined for extension cables in the USB 2.0 spec.
However, devices that need more than 400 milliamps of power delivered through the cable to function properly or to recharge an internal battery may experience difficulties because of the 100 milliamps consumed by the cable's repeater. For example, the iPad, iPhone, and iPod will not charge when connected to this cable. Other devices that may require more power than the cable can provide include some webcams or any peripheral that requires two simultaneous USB connections for adequate power.
