USB entension cable
i hav bought an usb entension cable for Rs.30... my system detects it and balloon msg appears that a " Usb Device found " and then when i connect a pen drive... it says unknown device found & pen drive is not detected... should i install some driver for usb entension cable ?? my pen drive works fine when i connect it directly without using entension cable... cable is also new and their is no fault in the calbe.... but how do i get it work ??
2.) in case if the usb entension cable is working.... will it give a speed of USB 2.0 ??? if no then how to get that speed in usb entension cable. ??

Re: USB entension cable
how long is ur cable?? .. if its somewhere near 5m long it probably wont work!!
I think it'll give speeds little less than USB 2.0 speeds, depending on the make!!

Re: USB entension cable
USB Extension Cables don't get "detected" on their own when connected to the computer. You have to connect a device at the other end. MAybe, your Pendrive has got some problem with the cable.
I have connected 4 such cables each of length 2 metre end to end to make it a 8m long cable and connected a webcam to the other end, so that I can use it like a video camera  . And there is no problem in the working of the webcam. Nor any slow transfer speeds.
Maybe you should connect it to different ports on the backside and see.

Re: USB entension cable
now i tested with my usb keyboard seems to be working fine with the cable except for d kingston data traveler 2.0 pen drive.... i checked on the other comp also, even their its showing the same error "unknown device" but pen drive has no problem when connected directly. seems a little strange prob at this end.
@ lucky star, wats d speed ur getting for web cam (usb 2.0) ?? since ur cable is too long.

Well, I don't know the exact speeds. But the webcam works the same way when I connected it directly to the computer without any cables.
No lags in the video.
Once I had connected my PD to it. and there was no deterioration in transfer speeds.
