Obviously (?) this is a 2-port hub in the connector housing, with one port going to the extension cable, and the other to the through-port.
Those hubs chips will need energy to run, so there will be a limit to how many you can daisy-chain.
I didn't see any mention of what this limit is, it would have been interesting to see if the higher power spec of USB 3.1 means it comes closer to infinity than for USB 2.0.

The only limit is the power the connected through the hub devices draw.
