Orland Park, IL | USB extension cable - Where to buy? I bought one of those multi-format media card reader for my PC. However the USB cable that plugs into the motherboard header is too short. So I am looking for a 10pin M - 10pin F extension cable about 12" or so in length to make the connection. Wondering if Fry's or tigerdirect etc would have one of these cables in stock?? Any other suggestions? Thanks. |

San Jose, CA | Off the top of my head I don't know the maximum length for USB, but I have a 6-footer I bought from Frys. Aside from length make sure you get the ends you need. Male-Male or Male-Female, USB-A or USB-B, etc. |

From what I understand the recommended maximum extension is 3 meters.
Here is a good source on all types of cables.

Not sure if people realized that, but seems to me he's looking not for a usual USB extension cable but he needs a longer a cable between the 10n pin headers on the mobo and on some reader.
Frys have lots of cables. I'd look for not an extension cable but simply a longer USB header cable in 'motherboard accessories'.

They make special adapters you could put on the end of Cat 5 cables to turn them into USB cables. I'd used well as long as 100' at times in special situations without a problem. |

You are correct, I should have said the cable is completely within the case and I need a foot at most.
I'll check fry's and compusa for a premade cable. Otherwise I know I can buy the parts there and build one if needed. Thanks. |
