Can i use 2 of these together, effectively giving me a 20 meter USB extension cable? Are there any negatives to doing this?

Sorry for the delay in replying to your question. I have not used 2 cables together, but I think that they should work O' K depending on your application.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thank you for posting your question. In the office we have successfully tested three 10-meter cables in a row. There are two possible negatives. The first is that each cable has a hub that conditions the signal after its journey down the cable. These use some of the limited power supplied by the computer, so it is possible that there will not be enough power for your device at the end of the series of cables. This can be solved by attaching a powered hub at the end, then connecting your device to that. Another possible negative is that some video devices like web cameras may have problems with timing over the long distance, and the result may be jittery or have a very slow frame rate.

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 actually have this cord connected to a 20ft one and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. I've had it like this for several months, and it works great connected to my PS3, external hard drive, laptop, etc.

Yes you can. This is an adapter and it can easily be used with other USB adapters to create a longer extension.

This unit has a single (one) usb port, you could try to use a splitter but I could not say it would work. You should contact the manufacturer (TP link) on this.

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?

I use mine with a webcam. It should be fine linking two or maybe get a longer cord.

I think you can link two of them together. Not sure about the USB and estata connections.

The charging station cable is mini usb on one end, and usb on the other. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use an extender cable on the end of that. I would think it'd work just fine.

I don't think so. I used this just to connect two cables together to extend the length. It doesn't add any functionality to anything.

Yes, you can use the original extension cable. This is the way that I have mine set up.

Hi Joel, Sorry I have no idea if you can connect and operate more than one. If there is a way to select which USB port the software is connecting to then it might be possible.It is a good question. I am curious why do you want to connect more than one?Regards,Chris Schene

Dear Tim, As we had discussed over the email that you had sent us, the USB extension cable is an active cable which amplifies the signal to allow connections over longer lengths. In general active cables work in a single direction. You may want to consider purchasing a passive USB cable for bidirectional support.

I have a usb powered extender that gives me four extra USB ports. It is a Belkin product. The EnGenius adapter does have two connectors but I use only one and it works fine.

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

It should work fine-don't use a cable any longer than you need on either input or output

I did not try this but I doubt that it could work. The USBs are: USB3 with blue for data and the other one, USB2 only for power. You can use another power source instead and the you will use only the USB3 for data.

The USB connection isn't very long, it's around a meter or so, but you could probably be able to buy a longer one to suit your needs.

Yes. As long as you are just extending the USB device you are wanting to use yes you can use this.
