how long is the usb cable and can you use an extention cable with it?

About 10-15ft. and yeah, you can use an extension cable but...probably causes greater latency.

The USB cable that came with my kit is 10' long. Much longer than I expected.

I have used this USB extender with a Logitech C310 web camera over a CAT-6 cable about 25' long. The camera seems to work as it did connected directly to the computer, and I've had no issues with the extender or camera.

I guesstimate about 10 feet. Sorry, but if I get into the spaghetti of cables behind my computer I might get entangled forever. And by the way, I have started having trouble with this USB. Some peripherals that I plug in are not read by the computer. And then if I connect them directly to the confuser, then they are recognized. Have not asked for a fix or refund for living in Panama the cost of repatriation of the product is prohibitive; so in earnest I can not really fault the manufacturers.

Yes, there is a 32" long Male-Female USB Extension cable in the box. By the way, I have a bunch of these and they work GREAT on all machines, in XP, Win7 and most importantly Win8.1 32 and 64-bit.

Yes. The usb cord does not appear to be product specific, so there wouldn't be an issue to use a longe one.

Any component with a USB connection can be extended with this cable. My application was extending the keyboard and is working great!

I use the extension (that comes with it) that all connects to plug into a USB jack, but I am not sure what other ends that it comes with other than the usb? Sorry I cannot remember.

It is a 4 foot long usb cable. you can swap it out for your own usb cable though.

Depending on the case you have, you might be able to get it to fit by leaving the included plastic adapters out. I haven't tried using an extension but it looks like a standard micro USB male to female cable would fit.

Cable is 18 inches. Has a mini-plug on one end and USB on the other. I am very happy with this item and regularly use the backup feature. Hope this helps.

None. It comes with all needed cables, and the advice I got from a re-seller was NOT to try to extend any with USB extension cables. What comes with the kit is complete, of decent length, and should be fine for nearly any setup. Even comes with a mounting bracket for desk or wall, and a velcro mount for the hub.

Approximately 8 to 10 inches, no longer than a foot...not very long. You need to keep the external drive near the computer you are using.

The cord is probably about 2 feet or so. Yes, you can add an extension. It fits a regular electrical wall socket. I can use it on my desk and leave it plugged in to the wall with no problem.

I did not measure it but I guess it is 3 or 4 ft. long I had to purchase a longer usb cable for my use!

The USB cable that came with my unit was only 23 1/2 inches. Not nearly long enough to connect from the top of my desk to the back of my computer. The electrical adapter cord was only about 28 1/2 inches long, which in my setup, was not long enough, either.

i have my receiver plugged into a usb extension cable and it works fine. the cable is around 5 feet, but i imagine it could be longer...
