USB extender cable on wireless adapter?

[Switch625]

Just wondering if anyone uses, or knows if you can use the USB extender cables (that sometimes come with USB wireless adapters/3G sticks) on the 360?

My console sits in a shelf in a cabinet and rather than move it to the top, I was thinking of using one of these to sit the adapter on the top and get better coverage?

It will be fine to use one as long as it is less than 3m, over that length and it may prevent enough power reaching the wifi dongle.
