I don't know what it's supposed to be, but I soldered up a splitter, and
ran
two 10m cables to a pair of plasma screens from it.  That's 20m in
total,
plus the losses of the splitter I made.  What's your application?

5m for the cable, but you can string 3 hubs/repeaters together, so 15
metres.

A hub will do this.

You should purchase the correct length USB cable instead - I've not
seen
these adapters.
