I'm looking for a way to extend the length of my USB ports. I'm hoping to find like a power strip for USB ports that has some length to it. I was able to find something like this on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-4-Port-Individual-Switches-HB-UMLS/dp/B00BWF5U0M/ref=pd_cp_pc_2

but I need a couple feet of extension. I can only seem to find single USB port extension cords that go about 6 feet long, or USB strips that are very short. Is anyone familiar with something like this and knows what to look for?

Thanks

USB Hub is what you want to look for.

Here's one that I've used:

This one looks crazy nice, but as you can is expensive.

Put your hub on the end of one of these

These are both great. I like the idea of buying an extension cable and then attaching a hub to that as well. Thanks for the help!
