Extension cable for Canon USB scanner ?

Hello Forum,
I have a Dell Dim. 8200 with XPsp2.  I also have a Canon Lide 20 scanner which I need an extention cable for. In the manual it says Powered via USB port no adapter required. The cable it uses now has a little round adapter or something similar on each end of the cable where it connects to the computer and the scanner. I want to get an extension for this scanner but don't know if I can use one or what type to get. If anyone know what I'm talking about. I would be very grateful for any help as to what kind of extension to get...   thank you... Lee

If this device is powered by the USB port, I'd be extremely skeptical whether an extension cable will even work. What you need is a powered USB hub. Google that.

Here's one that looks good:
