Yes I have seen those devices but I was not counting those, a bit much for
an antenna project. I believe I have seen some for about $125, not sure if
they are for a pair or not. I am very interested in a set, wonder if I can
use a USB hub on each end and just use one pair for maybe 2-4 devices. I
have a 350ft driveway and it would be nice to be able to run some USB
devices over there and feed it to my IT room back home in the basement.

More like 15' (5m I think is the actual number). This can be worked
around by using one or more "active extension" (a bus-powered 1 port
hub with a 5m cable) cables and by other USB extension devices,
usually involving CAT5 UTP and a 3 digit price.
