can this be used as a usb cable extension to connect my scanner to my computer -- already have a short usb cable.

You sure can. I'm using mine to connect to a hub on the other side of the room. I keep my printer connected to the hub.

I really don't know. I know you can't use it for a camera but it might work on a scanner since nothing is moving like it would on a camera. Go to a Best Buy store and as the Geek Squad. I just dealt with them two weeks ago and I'm very satisfied with how they work. At least in the Kankakee/Bourbonnais store.

This particular scanner does not have that kind of ability. The only one that we can think of that does is the VuPoint Magic Wand Portable Scanner with Auto-Feed Dock (prod # PDS-ST450-VP).

That would depend on your scanner. The device has to recognize cable for what it is. It's basically a NICE and your device would have to have built in drivers for it like a PC in order allow the cable to do its job.

I don't remember seeing a USB port on the printer itself but you since you can control the scanner through your laptop or desktop, you can select select your USB drive to store your scanned image.

Greetings !! I have not installed or used this cable setup yet, but I bought it with the understanding that the two USB connectors on the 'Y' arm should each go into USB ports on the computer, in order to provide more currrent for whatever external device is ultimately attached to the single remaining USB. In my case, the plan was to power a late-model Canon LiDE flatbed scanner from my laptop; I read somewhere that the scanner could use the extra current, and that while it is possible to use the scanner with one (1) USB connector, two (2) power inputs would be better. That is all I can say for Now. All the best! Arnold Browne_Columbia Uiniv_NYC Greetings !!

Yep, I also use it with my laptop.... you will need Scan Tools for windows....

No. The scanner is handheld not attached to computer. You scan what you want, then hook the scanner to the computer via usb cable and download data to a file.

Don't know. I tried it with a scanner and a printer and both worked OK, but it would not recognize a USB hub.

Yes. I added a 10 foot USB extension cable and it works. It's just a normal USB type A Male to type A Female cable. I waterproofed the connection using a hot glue gun before I buried the cable. The big question is... How long of an extension cable can be used?

There's a standard USB socket on the tail end of the scanner. You can fit your own cables to this socket. None are provided with the scanner.

I found that Apple has an adapter. Haven't hooked up my scanner yet but from looking at it, it should work.

You can scan without the USB cable which is not supplied with the printer. I find having the cable attached makes things a bit more efficient but not a requirement. I suggest setting the printer up without cable and testing. If you desire to use cable after this they are readily available on Amazon or most retail electronics stores.

I'm not sure. Isn't it in the specs. My UPS died and this cable is in storage with many others now. Sorry. But the extension usb would work if too short

My Canon LiDE100 scanner is plugged directly into my computer with a USB cable, don't know what power my USB has. It works great that way.

You only have 2 usable USB Ports available on each L300. I haven't plugged a scanner into it yet, but... I'm thinking each scanner is rated at 400mA (.4 Amps) not .4mA and I don't think an L300 can handle that. The USB ports are primarily for USB memory sticks, although I've successfully used them for printers as well. I do know that the dental x-ray sensor I tried once did NOT work reliably on it.

The short answer is YES. I ran a printer by plugging in two of these USB extension cables, so I know it works. The longer answer is USB drive manufacturers suggest keeping the cables to their portable USB drives short to avoid data corruption, so it depends somewhat on your particular application.

I don't see why not, however, that cable only lasted one year and proved to be defective and the Amazon vendor did not back up their product. I STRONGLY recommend that you pay a few dollars more and purchase a QUALITY cable from Belkin especially if you need a cable that is longer than 6 feet. Belkin makes cables with gold connectors and thicker internal wires to make certain the scanned or print data travels both ways. You get what you pay.
