Hi-Speed USB cables can be up to 5 meters (16 feet, 5 inches).
Some people sell USB extension cables, but these are outside the USB specification. The electrical characteristics of the cable are important. Chaining them adds too much delay, resistance and capacitance. You might get lucky, or you might not.

What is the minimum length available for a micro usb cable?
The minimum length available for a micro usb cable is 3 mm. The micro usb cable is considered to be far more durable that the mini usb cable. You can purchase a micro usb cable at Staples.
What is the speed of USB port?
USB 1.0 has the maximum speed of 1.5Mbps. USB 1.1 is a bit faster at 12Mbps. USB 2.0 is the fastest currently at 480Mbps. USB 3.0 will be released in 2010 and that will have a maximum speed of 4.8Gbit/s.
Maximum cable length using 20-gauge twisted-pair shielded cable between two full speed USB devices?
5 Meters or about 16.4 feet for a standard single cable. Lengths can be increased by using repeaters like the ones built into USB Hubs up to a maximum of 5 (82ft), or by using USB Extenders which use CAT5 cable which allow a distance of 160 ft. (50M.). There are also cables that are 36' (11M) USB 2.0 with built in Booster/repeaters available through cableguyusa.com (item 601-706-36-silver-act) or walmart.com (Tripp Lite 36')
What is the maximum length of a USB cable?
It's depends on what kind of amplifier.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The following is longest HDMI cable that I had been seen. 30AWG: 30 meters 28AWG: 45 meters 24AWG: 79meters Testing conditional: 1920*1200*60Hz*32 on 21"LCD display pass.
Can you tell if USB cable is 2.0 by looking at it?
There is no distinction between a USB 1.1 and a USB 2.0 cable. A USB cable can be operated at either speed. If I took an A to B USB cable from 1995, I could use it with the newest devices on the market with no problem.

What is the difference between USB 2.0 and 3.0?
as far as i can tell its just for all practical purposes nothing but the price ...... there is some technical mumbo jumbo ....(see below) but unless your cable runs are reaching toward maximum....why bother??? "The maximum length of a standard USB cable is 5.0 meters (16.4 ft). The primary reason for this limit is the maximum allowed round-trip delay of about 1500 ns. If a USB device does not answer to host commands within the allowed time, the host considers the command to be lost. When USB device response time, delays from using the maximum number of hubs and delays from cables connecting the hubs, host and device are summed, the maximum delay caused by a single cable turns out to be 26 ns [10]. The USB 2.0 specification states that the cable delay must be less than 5.2 ns per meter, which means that maximum length USB cable is 5 meters long. However, this is also very close to the maximum possible length when using a standard copper cable." from wikipedia The difference between USB1 and USB 2 is that the USB 2 is shielded (like TV coaxial cable) to prevent signal loss between computer and printer. Look for a printer cable that is clear with the shielding visible.
