ALFA AUSBC-5m 16ft USB 2.0 active-repeater extension cable type a male to female

This is a 5m (16 feet) USB extension cable from ALFA Network (model AUSBC-5M). This is an "active repeater" cable which is a special type of cable that buffers power over the distance of the cable. Standard passive extension cables- the kind you may find on eBay for a few bucks, do not buffer the power signal and lose power over the cable length. This means they cannot offer enough power for high consumption devices, such as ALFA's line of long range Wi-Fi USB networking adapters including AWUS036H, AWUS036NH, and AWUS036NHR. This also has special shielding to insulate against power loss- you will notice out of the package it is quite a bit thicker than standard USB cables.

This cable allows you to place your long range W-Fi adapter (or any USB device for that matter) up to 16 feet away from the computer. If your computer is located away from a window, use this cable to put your Wi-Fi adapter closer to the window for improved reception.
