There's no reason to deal with companies unfriendly to consumers or
companies that overcharge. I needed a new 15' USB A/B cable so I checked
it out at Office Depot. $32.00. Insanity. The same cable through Amazon
was $7.00. I would have paid $10 at Office Depot for convenience of
"instant" delivery into my hand, but more than four times as much? ****
Office Depot. Oh, wait...isn't that a Bain Capital funded company? That
explains the overcharging!


No that was Staples, before the merger.

BTW you are really pushing USB to try to run it out 15'. Better is a
powered extension cable with a repeater.


It's for my wife's new scanner. I have my scanner on a 15' USB cable and
it works just fine. Hers will sit in a cabinet some distance from her
desk and computer. That's where she wants it.


Gee, I love my wireless world.
