I was going to call bullshit, but you can actually buy 25ft long USB 3 cables. Wild.

Most of the 30ft ones are active with extenders built in though.

What good is an A-to-A USB cable?

The whole idea of USB precludes that -- the spec is clear on this! There are no USB Devices (not Hosts) with a Type A connector.

That's right -- they have a hub in the middle. Of course that is an issue if the Device at the far end of the extension requires all 500 mA. It won't enumerate.

I've seen them in practice though :palm:. One was a crappy USB microscope.
