5m USB 2.0 Active Repeater Extension Cable – Premium Quality / High Speed
This cable allows you to position your printer or other USB device e.g. external hard disk more than 5m from your PC. I wasn’t aware of the limit for USB signals down a conventional cable before, but this active cable works fine.

This is one of those bits of technology that just works. Nothing to setup, connect both ends and you’re away. I brought it to connect my networked HP multi-function device to a new windows 7 machine as I couldn’t get the native Windows driver to see the scanner. The cable solves the problem perfectly. Previous comments about the fragility of the connections to the booster box don’t seem to apply to the version I received as it is built into the female connector.
