Question 2

This doesn't work through the cradle with extension cable but does work when i directly plug it into a usb port. can any help?

Accepted Answer

That is weird, should work with a cradle/extension included. Only thing I can think of make sure it's plugged into a USB 3.0 socket. If problem persists contact seller and try a replacement maybe youve got a defective extension.

Question 3

Will this connect my windows 7 pc to my virgin hub 20 ft away

Accepted Answer

I have used it for exactly the same thing, my hub is on the ground floor and my windows 7 pc is in the loft, and it works fine. D.J.
