Know your gear
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.
If your device requires more than 250mA of power, it will either need to have its own power supply; or, to be plugged into a powered USB 2.0 hub (such as U222-004-R) that is connected to the U026-016.

excellent product, works like it is suppose to.
Plugged the cable to my tower and windows 7 loaded the drivers for it and the cable has been working flawlessly running my printer. with the boost from the active device built in there is no loss of speed to the printing process. This is an excellent product and I would recommend this particular cable to anyone that needs an extended connection. Great company , they sell a great product.

Worked perfectly for what I needed it for.
I needed to connect a small Christmas decoration with a USB plug to my powered USB strip in my computer room and this worked perfectly for that purpose.

Exactly what I needed!
I use a Meeting Owl almost every day in my college classes, and I needed to be able to place the Meeting Owl further away from my laptop to better see all the students in the class. This extension cable, which was recommended by the Meeting Owl folks, is perfect.

I would buy this again!
I bought a stand up desk for my office and wanted to connect my computer to my stand up desk. This product works perfect for that. I can charge my phone or whatever needs a USB hook up with out having to plug it into the hard drive. LOVE IT!
