Question about a M/F USB extension

I've got a headset attacked to my work computer. I'd like to add an extension so I can reach a longer distance from my desk while on a call.

I vagkuely remember that USB extensions won't work beyond a certain length but that may have been in the USB1 days. I found 6 and 10' extensions but then I found a 25' with a repeater.


CableVantage 25 FT USB extension Cord Active USB 2.0 Extender / Repeater / Extension Cable High-Speed 480Mbps USB 2.0 Type A Male to A Female Extension Cable w/ Active Repeater (25 FT)

Is there something to this "repeater" or is it just marketing a cool collar?
