If you use passive cable for the purpose of extension, it will result in signal errors and
not recommended.
It allows an USB device to have its cable length extended up to additional 40 or 80
feet by serially connecting 8 or 16 feet cables. This USB Extension Cable acts as a
transparent USB hub and buffers all downstream and upstream data traffic. Both
low-speed and high-speed USB devices will function equally well with the USB
Extension Cable.
