It's pretty hard finding active extender cables here, and online I can find them only on int'l sites, which makes the whole thing expensive.
Strange. Normally, active USB repeater cables should be available in all local computer stores.

I was wondering, did anyone ever tested with "normal" extender cables (not amplified) ? did it really changed anything ?
Passive cables should work well for distances up to 5 meters. You cannot daisy-chain passive cables for distances over 5 meters (this is not allowed by USB standard and does not work in practice).
