If I buy a 16 foot extension cable, how long can the attached device cable be? I'd use this to print to a B&amp;W laser printer. Thanks.

Generally, a ten foot extension is as long as you want to go past a powered device. Since this is a powered device, you should be able to add at least that much. If it has the same electronics as the longer version, it should be able to handle the length of the longer version. I can say from experience that I have used this very cable with a 10 foot extension attached to a hi-def webcam with a six foot cable and had no problems at all, so you should be able to do at least that.

Hello there, the end connector for the printer is USB. You need what is called a USB Male A-B printer cable. One end is the traditional rectangular USB male shape you are familiar with that plugs into your PC and other end is sort of a square male connector that connects to the printer itself. You can also use a Cat5 Ethernet cable to connect the printer to a router. You can use one or other. Mine is connected using the Ethernet connector, my computers share the printer on a home network. A-B Printer cables come in sizes 6 feet to 10 feet traditionally. I believe you can go as high as 25 feet before the USB cable has communication problems. I hope this helps.

I've extended mine about 15 ft. Purchased a longer cable, RCA both ends, for $5 - $6. Could also have added another cable to the one supplied.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

I wish Amazon had a way of putting FAQs such as this at the top of the list. Approximately 16 feet. An extension cable may be available if this is not long enough. See similar questions for more details.

Hello- I am sorry but I used an ink jet printer therefore, I can't answer your question but you should not have a problem with your printer as long as it's not a laser printer.

Sorry, I used this cable with an HP Color LaserJet 4500 printer; I have no way to know if it will work for others, but then again, what's the cost in trying it? If it works you've saved your printer. If it doesn't, skip a meal at McDonald's to recover the change. Actually, if you're still eating fast food you have much greater concerns than a dysfunctional printer.

Just a usual USB cable with the regular plug on one end and the small plug on the other - but most importantly, you should save yourself the money and find another printer that doesn't cut out on you when there is still ink in the cartridge ;).

just do a search for printer cable they are all the same, but they have 4' to 25' foot long cables they have them here at amazon or at walmart if you need it faster.

Katherine it is about 36 inches long. I still needed to use the original printer cable and only attached this adapter. As I stated in my review check with the manufacturer first to be sure your printer is compatible with your Operating System. This item is so very cheap and is shipped direct from Hong Kong so it does take awhile for delivery.

I have not used it for a printer. But I would consider it an usb to usb extension cord.

I have used this 25' cable without experiencing any problems with my printer. I have not used it with a web cam either. It should work if the square end is the right size for your hardware.

The item shipped to me has a usb cable about 18 inches long. I would think an extender cable would work. Since the only purpose for the usb cable is to power the unit, there should only be two conductors inside it, but the insulation sheath hides that. The usb connector is nice in that it provides a female usb outlet so you don't lose a usb port when you plug in the monitor. If you're handy soldering you could almost certainly cut the cable and splice in any reasonable length of additional 2 conductor cable (just make sure you maintain the polarity).

The attached usb connecting cord is one foot long, they also provide a three foot extension usb cable, which you can use if you need it.

I am not sure. This is just a USB extension cable to extend the length of your current USB cable. if the combination of this cable and your current cable hooked together measure 16 foot or longer, I would get an extension cable with a booster built inline.
