kenable USB 2.0 High-Speed 4 Port Hub Active Repeater Extension Cable 12m (~40 feet)

here we have a couple different USB 2.0 over cat five or six extenders that all claim to perform at USB 2.0 speeds over long distances however we have seen many different comments out there about some of these not delivering what they promised so we decided to test them to help you decide which one will work better for your needs for these tests we will use a 200 foot long cat 6 cable a USB 2.0 hard drive a Pathmark USB 2.0 tester and a Thule HD webcam but wait before we go any further we need to mention the difference between megabytes per second and make up bits per second to keep it simple one megabyte is equal to 8 megabits also we need to point out that although the advertised speed for USB 2.0 is a 480 megabits per second the actual speed you'll get is of about 360 megabits per second or 35 to 40 megabytes per second this is due to many different variables and test results may var
