Will this cable work fine if I connect two to double the length for a wifi adapter? I bought 1 and it works great, but I need a little longer.

The maximum length of a USB cable is specified as 5 meters (just under 15 feet). Any longer than that and you will be at risk of signal loss. If you want to go longer than 5 meters, you need to use a powered USB extension cable like this one: IOGEAR USB 2.0 Booster Extension Cable, Black GUE2118 (39 Feet)

This should work fine if doubled , I would make sure this item is plugged into the back so it's getting power from the main board not another extension

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..

It would work but, for a setup like that you would probably be best off going with 1, 30 foot cord rather than 2, 15 feet cords because you will get better conductivity.

I don't know. I would google something like "maximum length of a USB cable."

No it's not going to work. The cable it both too short and too thick. I tried it now.

I checked the reviews and most say it works with two devices. I have not tried it but I do have to restart my blue tooth connection every so often which is not the cables fault so you just have to see if it works for you and the price is right!

I'm not an expert, but if you try/test it with a shorter cable and it works fine, I would say the run is too long. Hope that helps

It works just fine compared to other cables. If the standard size cable is compatible there's no reason this one shouldn't work for you.

Hi jim, I bought this to connect two regular ( may be type A ) USB male ended wires the connection I made it was between external hard drive and tablet which did not work for me but there was no problem about the quality of particularly this blue piece of product. If both wires you are using are USB male ended on each side you can try and I hope the best for you. I never get advantage of it but I kept for the future in case if ever I need it again.

squashpup - THANK-YOU so very much for your reply. I have been hesitant to purchase this item, but now that I know that it works for you, I will proceed. And thanks for the eBay tip, I would not have known what to call that type of adapter cable.Happy New Year,PWB, Esq.

Yes, I bought one of these and it works fine. The cable is a little short but it does the trick

Hi Sonny The overall cable length, from end of connector to end of connector, is 2'_0.25". The 2nd USB socket from the cable entry end of the device works only for charging - will not work as a data port. All other ports work for charging and data. Unit works for USB 3 and 2. Don't know about USB 1. Would not recommend purchase - can't be sure what ports will work for data until tested. Hope this helps - Rick

Yes, however, the length will depend on what 2 rooms the cable is connected to.

Hi, From the information given, I believe you will are looking for a different cable. This cable can extend a printer cable. Most printers use a cable that has USB-A to USB 2.0-B connectors. This is because routers with USB printing support normally have a USB-A connector. Most printers with USB interface is through a USB-B 2.0 port. Best regards, Bargain Cable

There is a whole lot of variance in this answer. I'd like to know as well, since I'm looking for a longer cable.

You can use or two. I used two for two additional locations. Ended up sending everything back though. My cable is too old and has too much inteferance for really high speeds. My wifi did better.

Yes. I will add the first one I recieved, the ends on the adapter. ( wires) were not. Connected;. Customer service was fast and funny. 2nd one worked great. Esp. For a made up adapter. The low rateings were do to wires not being connected. At the low price. I suggest you buy two

Works great. Need 2 of them. One at each end of connection. I used cat5e from Lowes. About 75 ft. run. using over a month with no problems from the start!

Thanks for your response. I bought one of these connectors but it was the wrong size, too small to fit the one I had. I am looking for the right one to fit my existing connector.
