Belkin F3U134-10 USB Extension Cable (10-Feet) – Customer Reviews
Product description inaccurate -and that's good.

Ok, let's clear up some confusion about this cable.
According to the Belkin site this cable actually works up to speeds of 480Mb/s, which means it's a High Speed USB compatible cable. You can search Belkin's website for part# F3U134-10 for the page.(For a brief discussion on USB standards see the next paragraph.)It's unfortunate that Amazon has an obsolete/inaccurate description, but for the price it's tough to beat.
Ok now for the promised discussion on USB standards.The USB 1.1 specification was incorporated into the USB 2.0 specification which has created a lot of confusion.USB 1.1 had a maximum transfer rate of 12Mb/s and USB 2.0 has a maximum of 480Mb/s.However USB 2.0 can run at the lower, 12Mb/s rate and still be called USB 2.0 (thus the confusion).Only if a device says "High Speed USB" can you be sure that it's capable of running at 480Mb/s.6/30/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:

This cable did exactly what it was supposed to do and was super easy to use - can't ask for more than that.

I received my USB extension cable quick and it was just what I needed since my printer is on the opposite side of the desk from my computer. The price was so much better after looking around locally and comparing different web sites.I would difinitely do it again.

Great solution for the price. With the CPU under the desk, no more reaching under it to plug in my jump drive. Superb
