Once again, I am reduced to handing around the nursery stable
yard.........

I am after a 10 M A - B USB cable (with repeater).

Now, I know that Nanny says I mustn't have these (and why*), but I want
one anyway. Actualy I want another one, we already have one and it
works quite well, but it was made up specialy at great cost, and we had
to deal with someone who my collegue refers to as a tonsil (useless!).

I know I could get the same funtionality out of a 5M A Male to A Female
Repeater Extender cable and a standard 5M A-B cable, but as this is
going above a suspended ceiling, id' rather not have a join up there.

Does anyone know of a supplier who is willing to risk the wrath of the
USB police and sell these as a standard item? Or failing that can
recommend a supplier of the two separate cables which are reasonable
quality and price?

*For those who are interested and haven't fallen asleep, the reason
these aren't generally available is that otherwise people would join
them onto 2, 3, or even 5M cables and then complain bitterly to the
supplier if this config didn't work.


There must be other ways of doing what you want such as serial port to USB
convertor.
