"Now you can see why things are going wireless."
I still can't see why.
The USB spec calls for a maximum cable length of 5 meters. This is 4 times longer. YMMV.
this amplifies the signal to allow it travel longer distances.
I have a 50 feet extender cable with a repeater in the middle like this, it works fine for watching movies.
The system sees this as a single-port hub.You won't be able to run an external 2.5" drive from it, but a webcam should be fine.
I still don't see why.
It's now $25 - $5 with the code...
