Can a longer USB cable be purchased OR can a USB extension cable be used?

A usb Extension cable is compatible with the cable provided. You may also find longer cables the interfaces are standard ends not proprietary.

That's exactly what I did. I bought two shorter cables to use with a micro USB cable to tether a camera to a computer. Next no problems with tethering a total of 8 feet over 3 cables

I purchased a USB extension and that helped me on the distance. Guess depends what is the distance you are looking for and if you can get an usb extension that long.

Yes, there is a 32" long Male-Female USB Extension cable in the box. By the way, I have a bunch of these and they work GREAT on all machines, in XP, Win7 and most importantly Win8.1 32 and 64-bit.

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.

Yes, a USB Extender will work with a cable such as this, as long as you keep the extender a reasonable length. A 10 foot extender is the longest I would go.

If you are referring to the USB cable that goes from the hub to the PC the answer is yes. If you are referring to the power supply adapter that is included with the unit it is not permanently attached but it is proprietary and you must use the adapter that comes with the hub. However, you can plug the adapter into a household extension cord and plug that into a power strip or wall outlet in order to achieve the desired extra length.

I personally have used this extension Plugable 10 Meter (32 Foot) USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Type A Male to A Female Plugable 10 Meter (32 Foot) USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Type A Male to A Female It is possible you may need a powered USB hub at the end of the extension but I did not. I have used it for a Logitech unifying receiver and this controller module. This specific extension cable is amplified. It may not work with a webcam or other higher-power peripherals but you should be good to go.

No, but you might call customer service and they will let you know if there is a USB extension cord you can puchase

The answer has nothing to do directly with the device. The USB standard specifies a maximum length of 5 meters. Cables longer than 2 meters will cause problems with some devices. To go longer that 5 meters you need a "signal booster" such as a powered USB hub.

No you cannot you can though get an expansion card for about 20 to 40 dollars that will have a USB 3.0 header.

I have not tried any other cable. I see no reason an extension usb b to usb a would not work.

The long cable is 180 inches or 15 feet long (not 16 feet). The short cable is 10 inches on the ultimate extension. The USB ultimate cable is 45 inches long (not 3 feet).

I think any USB cord should work. I can't remember that it's a special size.

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.
