Connector for optional power supply 5V/2A (connector is on the "remote" part): For some applications, a power supply may be necessary in order to power your USB device at the "remote" end: Only a few of our customers have told us that the power supply was necessary, except in cases in which they use the power supply to add power for a power-hungry device such as a high-power USB wireless adapter (read more about this).
Use this USB extender cable with your USB wireless client, in lieu of antenna cables. Unlike antenna cables (which lose significant signal per meter of cable), this USB extender cable loses only about 2.1% of signal per five meters - and so gives you far more signal strength from your USB wireless client, compared to using coax antenna cables. (This cable's performance is much better than other five meter active USB cables that we have tested).
Using this extender, you can place your USB wireless client high above your PC and/or outside, where it can receive and transmit WiFi signals much better. For example, you can gain direct line-of-site to your target wireless access point through better placement of the USB client and its antenna.
