I just looked at a package.  7 feet.

And, I didn't see this before, but they make the same outlandish claims on
the package that Monster is (in)famous for.  Transfer your data at 800 MHz!
(not the 480 MHz "ordinary" USB cables are limited to!)  Larger gauge
cables so devices charge up to 30% faster!!  Exceeds USB 2.0
specifications!!! (since apparently,there *are* no USB 2.0 extension cable
specs, this wasn't too hard to do..)

Did I mention I hate Monster?
I'm surprised HP let them get away with those claims.
