A-B Active Repeater Cable 10 Metre (5m + 5m)

Hi peeps. I need about a ten metre long cable to my printer and came across this deal with built in repeater clicky . I would be grateful for any ones advice on this or any that gives better results over this distance not withstanding wifi. Thanks in advance.

If you look at the bottom left of the webpage you pointed to you will see in the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section an ordinary 10m USB A-B cable for £7.99, which at least two people have found works satisfactorily for them.

It can make a difference having a repeater - just in terms of signal strength and timing (the repeaters re-sync the signals as I understand it - or at least square-up the square waves ready for another 5m of analogue attenuation).

That said, the printer will likely be fine - if you're using a 3G dongle at over 5m that's when the repeaters come into their own.
