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.

You don't have a networked scanner on your home server?

Running back and fourth to the scanner from the computer is the essence
of their exercise regimen. And by the looks of them they don't scan many
documents.
