Usb 2.0 active extension cable

Hi i just got a new 10m extension cable for my printer it is plug and play and windows installed the driver no problem, but i keep losing my internet connection it is saying server not found and i was not having this problem until i fittted the cable so i am guesing the cable is the cause but i didn't think that an extension would cause this problem any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Thanks for reply mate yes i have and internet is fine but when i connect the cable about ten minuts or so later it will lose the connection, any suggestions cause i need the extension cable it's really weird though.
