10M 33FT M/F USB EXTENSION CABLE WIRE for WEBCAM MOUSE

10 Metre (33 Ft) USB Male/Female Extension Cable

A Very Long Experimental USB Cable tested to successfully create an extension over 20 metres long using two of these cables and a usb hub.

We are pleased to offer to you a rare, experimental, and one of the best value for money 10 Metre USB 2.0 cables available on the internet.

These experimental cables are manufactured for users who like to stretch their USB devices to the very limits, at a distance which is far beyond their computer's normal reach. These cables are custom made to provide you with an affordable and usable product for some serious long distance computing arrangements, at a fraction of the price you might find elsewhere.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
Rare Experimental Technology This high end USB cable EXCEEDS the maximum length of a standard USB Cable by 5 metres (See below for more details).
USB1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0^ Compatible This USB cable has been tested with USB2.0 Devices that run from Full speed (v 1.1) up till near Hi-Speed (v2.0) with devices like the Ritmo 3.5" External HDD enclosure which ran at a sustained 240Mbps transfer rate. However, as this cable exceeds the maximum supported USB length specified by the USB, please note that there are restrictions and issues you will need to consider for certain devices. Examples of tested / exempted devices are mentioned below.
Enhanced Humidity Protection The solid and tightly packed customised injection moulded PVC water resistant coating ensures your cable is highly resistant to rusting and oxidation from end to end, helping to ensure that your cable doesn't rust from the inside out. Other cables may have solid metal exteriors that expand with heat, creating leaks and may have cheap porus coatings and shielding prone to rust (as in some braided cables).
Multiple Shielding Layers Multiple layers of metal and PVC insulation for both active and static electrical interference come as standard with this cable, helping to reduce any interference that may degrade the electrical signals when near other electrical appliances.
Heavy Gauge AWG Copper Wire These thick cables utilize the standard used by many manufacturers for long AV cables that are at least 10 metres long. Using heavy gauge at this distance ensures our cables have enough metal density to transmit high bandwidth signals with little depreciation in signal quality.

General Information about this USB cable
[Text & Images Contain Registered Copyrighted Material of Internetional Business And logistics and its owner(s)]
This is an experimental 1,000cm (10 metre) Universal Serial Bus Extension Cable. It is useful if your current device's cable is not long enough to connect to your computer USB port or USB hub from where you actually would like the device to be (eg: placing a web cam on the ceiling, or as a more convenient alternative to wireless keyboards and mice in a lecture hall / home theatre. The cable allows you to extend the effective total wire distance by 10m. It work with all current USB systems (USB1.0/1.1 and USB2.0) on IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Macintosh and Linux based computers etc, as long as they support this USB plug / protocol (It is the most commonly used size and shape and currently, the only known USB plug we know of that connects to computers), It is hence suitable for extension purposes for many known USB devices, with some exceptions stated below.

Special Information about 'Experimental' Long Length 10M USB Cables

This cable measures an abnormal 10 Metres in length. Normally, the maximum length of a standard USB cable is 5 metres (or 16.4 feet), and that includes the Wiring inside your computer that you can't see, so if a USB cable is longer than 5 metres, some devices may not function properly (some are listed further down for your reference).

The technical reason that most cables are 5m or under, is due to the maximum allowed round-trip delay of a signal to be sent, which is ~ 1500 ns (nanoseconds) at light speed. Therefore, if a USB device does not answer to computer's commands within the allowed time, the computer considers the signal to be lost. If you add up the USB device response time and delays from using multiple hubs and cables, the maximum acceptable delay per cable turns out to be around 20 to 30 ns. The USB 2.0 specification requires cable delay to be less than 5.2 ns every 100cm (which equates to 25ns, which is close to the maximum achievable speed for standard 5 metre copper cable at ~light speed). As such, the length of 5m is calculated. Hwoever, if you use less hubs and a single long cable, the potential for longer distances is greater when used with simpler USB devices.

Examples of how to use the 10M USB Extension Cable Text & Images Contain Registered Copyrighted Material of Internetional Business And logistics and its owner(s)]

Optimal Placement:
In most cases the USB port is directly on the motherboard itself, at the back of the a typical ATX computer case, and also if you are using a USB expansion card (via PCI / PCI express or PCMCIA). However, most ports on the front of your computer are not directly connected to the motherboard and have a hidden poor quality un-shielded USB extension cable that connects somewhere to the motherboard, which degrades the transmission quality over its length. Therefore, it's always best to connect extension cables (especially this 10m cable), and any high performance devices to the ports at the back of the computer (or those soldered onto the motherboard or expansion card)

Maximum lengths, Connections in Series, and USB Hub Bridges:
To get even longer cable lengths, you need to connect cables in series using a USB hub as a bridge to relay signals, or else, the setup will not work.

Creating a 20 Metre Connection (two 10M cables in series with 1 bridging hub): We connected one of these 10M cables to our computer, then connected a cheap $5 USB 1.1 Hub to it, and then added another 10 metre cable to one of the hub's USB ports, creating a 20 metre connection in series. Many of the above devices still worked at 20 metres, amazingly, which is within theoretical limits for USB.
At over 30 Metres (three 10M cables in series with 2 bridging hubs): Data transmission barely works anywhere over 25m. Only a handful of USB devices, like the Webcam are still detectable at 30 Metres (although the picture becomes highly corrupted). Generally at 30M and above, no data transmission is useful, and the cable is only useful for powering USB devices. So those devices that use USB solely for power (like USB chargers, lights, fans or cup warmers) will work just fine usually without much problems up to very long distances over 100 metres (electrical current drops with distance, but the voltage generally remains the same). So although data transmission USB devices will result in a "USB device not recognised" error, you can still leave them connected to charge; eg; with Mp3 players / PDAs / phones and battery chargers, just to name a few...

Here is an example of how to setup your devices with this cable, and how troubleshoot USB recognition errors:

Our opinion of its features
[Text & Images Contain Registered Copyrighted Material of Internetional Business And logistics and its owner(s)]
This cable comes straight from the factory, new and unused.

After initial tests, we believe its true maximum speed is somewhere between 240Mbps (confirmed) and 480Mbps (max theoretical).

Please do note its limitations stated above prior to purchasing it to avoid potential disappointment. As mentioned earlier, it is an experimental cable, and we are starting it at a low bid price compared to many others on the market.

Question: Will It work with my High speed USB devices
Answer: Since this is an experimental cable, it may not support ultra high performance devices at such a long distance. We can only confirm that it can at least process an external USB2.0 Ritmo 1TB HDD at a sustained rate of 240Mbps as a indicator of maximum performance. It didn't work with our external 250GB USB2.0 WD passport though, which is a bit of a confounding fact.
