It is my understanding that USB cables can go up to only 5 meters long. And this works at 10 m? Also, anyone know the power rating ?

I don't know the power rating, but I have been using this for the past three weeks on an RV trip. You disable the internal wifi card then plug this one into the USB port and my Win 7 sees it immediately. Several RV parks we have been at have had one bar or zero before plugging in this antenna. With the antenna I've been getting a full 5 bars. I aim the antenna in the direction of the transmitter and there has not been a problem getting a full signal from inside the RV. No issues with the cable length that I'm aware of.

No, USB will work at longer distances than 5m. I don't know the power rating, but receivers do not need a whole lot of power to receive a signal. I'm using mine about 2 blocks away and thru some trees and works flawlessly.

USB 2.0 can go much further, and the power rating has been listed everywhere from 7 to 14db, I would estimate it's around 10 to 12. I get full signal off a hotel that is 1/8th of a mile away. And I can connect to several that are a bit further out. It isn't super high powered, but it does an excellent job of beefing up the signal. I got 1 to 2 bars without it, full with it, and that is inside my home, outside I can find several wifi hotspots I can't even see without it.

USB length is limited but only now for less then a week, but I am for the full speed characteristics of the connection. This application is not using but only a portion of the full speed the USB cable is rated for, therefore the lengthof the cable is not an issue. I have been using one in an RV and I am throughly impressed with the capability it is showing me.

the cable in my unit is about 30 feet. i understand the unit is 1000mW. I easily pick up my signal 150 yards away

The maximum length of a USB cable is 15ft.. Anything more than that and it degrades the signal and the power is not transferred as well. The wires inside the cable are very thin and don't conduct very well over distances. You could do a USB over Ethernet adapter and then you can go up to 300 ft as the adapter is powered..

I belive the mini USB 5 pin is the same but i'm not sure about the power requirements. Sorry

It uses usb cable, yes. I don't see why a 10' cable would be a problem, but i don't really know.

Maybe they have changed this device recently but the cable on my hub is 10" long. The power is supplied by the source USB to which the hub is connected. You will only get out what you put in. As such it will not charge power hungry devices like an iPad when connected to a computer but will when connected to a wall charger.

since usb works off of dc current a longer cable will cause it to charge slower

The usb is about 2-3 ft, the power cable is about 4 ft. Honestly I wouldn't buy this usb hub. Mine arrived and died within about a minute of use. the company was good about refunding me the money but I wouldn't buy another one. I would personally recommend the one at this link Anker® Uspeed USB 3.0 4-Port Hub + 5V 2.1A Charge-Only Port, 12V 3A Power Adapter and 3.5-foot USB 3.0 Cable Included I have the 4 port version and it has been great usb cable is at least 3 ft and the power cable is about 5 ft.Hope this helps

The cable power goes from USB 5v out to the adapters. It may be rated for 12v however, USB is only rated at 5v.

USB Cable length is 182cm (6 foot). I cannot help with the max cable length. it is possible to run USB devices over long cable length runs using repeater cables but this may introduce unwanted noise in the captured vision.

I'm not positive but as long as the connectors fit you should be able to use it on 10 meter

Included cable has a length of about 6 ft, and max recommended is about 10 ft because the signal does fade in long USB cables.

I measured the charging end with a caliper. It appears to be 2.5mm. A quick search on amazon for USB to 2.5mm showed the product below. I can't guarantee, but for the price I'd give it a go. http://www.amazon.com/Gino-Speed-2-5mm-Power-Cable/dp/B0087Y6P28/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394208896&sr=8-1&keywords=2.5mm+to+usb\

It takes awhile with the regular cord, I bought a stronger wall plug, I believe it was a 10W. Usb with the regular wall plugs don't give as much power.

Hello. I had no problem with the cables (actually bought two) but was disappointed that I cannot use a USB device AND charge the computer at the same time.

the entire cable is 50 inches and it forks off to the usb for about 15 of those inches. The unit is amazing for the price. I've used it for 2 years.

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.

The cable 6 ft for the USB (if I remember correctly...I automatically replaced them with 12 ft cables) with a straight in connector, the power cable (for the 7 port unit) was also 6 ft.
