What good is a 3 foot USB cable? I don't plan on having this right next to my TV or my computer!

the 3ft. cable is plugged into the usb port on the t.v., Then the other end of the 3 ft. cable is plugged into the small white box that is attached to the 18 ft cable. This little junction is located about 3ft from were the coax cable attaches to the t.v. The small box shape can be seen in the picture of the coax cable. Beyond this junction there is about 15 ft. left to run & connect to the antenna. I found that the proper location (antenna) is very important. I was always losing the signal. Decided to move the t.v. & antenna to the opposite wall, now I get good strong signal.

The cable connects your TV to the aerial. The 3 feet allows you to position the aerial where you want, but I have mine directly behind the TV so you cannot really see it when viewing the TV.

Actually the cable that connects the antenna with the TV is 18 foot long, so have have pretty good flexibility in positioning your antenna. The 3 foot cable is for connecting the low noise amplifier to a USB port on the TV (if it has one), as an alternative method of power supply. The amplifier is on the other end of the antenna cable, very close to the TV, so it is very convenient.

I'm guessing you are referring to the power cable ? The coaxial cable, which connects to the TV, has an in-line power connection, which can be powered from the USB port on your TV, or thru the provided power plug, which can be plugged into any outlet, and has a USB port to plug into. So, you will need a place to plug that thing in, fairly close to the end of the coaxial cable, as the power box is closer to that end of the cable. There is about 3 feet of coaxial cable left after the in-line power box.

Hi, Thank you for the email inquiry and interest. The USB cord provided is about 40 inches. As for the extension, your guess is as good as ours; it would be hard to second guess electronics, and such things depend on your computer's USB hubs and your extension cord. Some equipment prefers to be connected to the main USB in rear of PC tower and not on the auxiliary plugs. - You are welcome to make your purchase and try it, if it does not work, we would be happy to accept a return and a FULL refund. Thank you, - The AramediA Support Team

Is it just me or are people answering this question without making the measurement?? The 2 USB cables are 4 feet in length, NOT 3 feet!!! And - the cables are not 'approximately 4 feet'. They ARE 4 feet. Also - a 3rd cable that has a switch button on it is 6 feet long.

At most 6 feet. That's usually the max useful length of USB cables before they need some kind of powered hub or repeater.

cord is too long... i didn't measure it but it's definitely multiple-feet long. it might be convenient for at home if you want to watch tv or hook it up to the computer/keyboard or something. but it's not practical going outside with all that cord!

I use a HDMI to USB port on mine computer. It's about 30 ft long. My son ordered mine, but I know it was purchased on Amazon. I don't know from who.

I would recommend getting a longer cable if you need a full 3' cable. The cable that comes with it I believe is around 3' but better to be safe then sorry. Also you need to get a rca cable with a ground as well.

It seems like a mini-usb, but I am not sure if it is a standard. I have a pile of the smallish usb cables that all seem unique. I have wondered why there isn't a standard. Sorry I can't be more accurate.

Plenty long. The power cable is long enough that I have it plugged in under my desk, and the USB connection is probably a foot or two. Long enough that I'm able to sort of hide the port hub behind my monitor and still plug it into my laptop.

It's only about three feet or so, but the plug in works with an android micro usb (same socket, but sometimes electronics won't work unless you use THEIR cable), so it's pretty easy and cheap to get a longer cable. But the three feet is more than enough length for drawing in front of the computer.

It shouldn't be a problem. I just tested mine for you and it works upto 24 ft. with the usb receiver in the back of the PC! If you use the remote receiver cord so the receiver can face the front, it should be even better.PC

Forget it, 3 feet is more likely. Love the design and obscurity but this is terrible functionally - lots of noise, doesn't understand commands, etc.

The maximum length of a USB cable is 15ft.. Anything more than that and it degrades the signal and the power is not transferred as well. The wires inside the cable are very thin and don't conduct very well over distances. You could do a USB over Ethernet adapter and then you can go up to 300 ft as the adapter is powered..

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.

There is a miniUSB to dual USB cord that comes with it, which uses the power from the PC. It's a little longer than I'd like it to be, so I suppose you can substitute a shorter one. Not sure what the dual USB end would be for...

I really could not tell you but maybe this would help you. Again I'm sorry http://www.yourcablestore.com/USB-Cable-Length-Limitations-And-How-To-Break-Them_ep_42-1.html
