Not that you probably need to know this, but for some other stranger: there’s a max functional length to USB cables. At work I remember pulling my hair out troubleshooting a printer until we swapped cables for something shorter.
He said printer though that’s what’s what threw me off. That’s a cutter. My bad I thought he was talking about a USB large format printer, I only replied because I’m looking for a slightly smaller printer for my smaller decals, and I’d be interested in a serial or USB printer.
My PC is in the basement and I’ve got USB and serial going everywhere running different cutters, 3d printers, CNC, etc upstairs and down, also in the garage. Works great.
I’ve used them for extension, as it allows you to attach a second, regular USB cable to it.

They’re not priceless, they’re $3.00
It’s a banana, how much could it cost?
In this case, less so, because any normal A to A cable would do the same thing, just with more room to spare.
Agreed in general, though. I have so many random audio and video adaptors that I’ve used a surprising number of times.
It’s supposedly cheaper than a cable.
Well, what do you mean by “regular”? The cable would need to be female on at least one end, which I usually see in… USB extension cables.

That said, there are “active” USB extension cables which draw current from the power lines and use it to boost the signal along the data lines
Meanwhile I have 25ft cables running my large format vinyl printers lol
My large format vinyl printer uses Ethernet. TIL there are USB vinyl printers. What kind of printer do you have? Latex 260 here
We had a 53" US Cutter and it attached to the computer by USB. If we’re talking about the same thing.
