There's no reason to deal with companies unfriendly to consumers or

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.


Do you have a wireless solution for USB devices. I am still looking
for one.


That's easy

That's fine assuming your scanner is capable of a wireless network
connection. I recently bought one to convert old photos to electronic
storage.
It requires a cable. No wireless.




I don't see many real advantages of hooking up a flatbed scanner
wirelessly if you are using the device in a home office. You still have
to place the items to be scanned on the flatbed, which means you don't
want the scanner too far away from your computer. Wireless printing is
another matter.

You wouldn't see a real advantage because you don't have one.
