The usb cable is around 4' long. We are using a 32' extension now, but needed to use usb boosters to get it to work over long distance. The ones that are working for us were purchased at Radio Shack, and come in 16' lengths, and have molded in boosters. (2) extenders = 32'. We have used up to 3 extenders for 48'. cost per extender approx. $30.00.

its not that long, its pretty short but you could get a usb adapter up to 20 feet lol but you would probably need an extra 5 feet max for like $2

Due to its design, USB cable has a normal maximum length of about 5 meters (16.4 feet), but you can get longer distances by using an Active USB Extension/Repeater Cable

It is 2.8 inches with USB retracted. It is a 1/4 inch longer with the USB extended.

The usb is roughly 1.6 feet (50cm) long. Though I don't use a USB extender with my configuration, an USB extender should work as it draws very little power.

The cord itself is around 60in long, which wasn't quite long enough for what I needed it for. So what I did was I bought a 6ft USB extension cord that brought the whole length up to about 11 ft long. I hope this helps.

Hi Sue. I really cannot say for sure if it will work. I can verify though that the specific cable worked without any problems when I had to connect to it another USB cable, both totaling 10 meters in length. I could not achieve USB connectivity in such a distance by any other kind if USB cable used in the past. I hope that this will help you somehow. Nick.

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.

Glen, I got this one and except for the short USB cord it works fine. I replaced the cord with a longer one and haven't had any problems yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QQ3VK2/ref=oh_o01_s01_i00_details

I just opened the box and there is a USB cable about 36" long. Directions say that "The USB cable may be used during the wireless settings."

From what I've read, the length limit on USB 3 is about 3 meters. Possibly a special 15' cable would work, I don't know. My cables on these are 6' and work fine.

I guesstimate about 10 feet. Sorry, but if I get into the spaghetti of cables behind my computer I might get entangled forever. And by the way, I have started having trouble with this USB. Some peripherals that I plug in are not read by the computer. And then if I connect them directly to the confuser, then they are recognized. Have not asked for a fix or refund for living in Panama the cost of repatriation of the product is prohibitive; so in earnest I can not really fault the manufacturers.

Both are pretty short. Both are about 3 feet I think and the USB has a proprietary end so if you have to use a USB extension cord to make it longer.

Hi. This extension cable will still work with a USB 3.0, but the data transfer will be degraded to a USB 2.0 speed.

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

It is about 3 ft long, but it connects with the USB type connection so I assume you might be able to use USB extension.

Use the shortest USB extension cable that you have. A 3 foot one should not lose too much power.
