Will this cable work without using a powered USB hub?

If you’re asking whether it can be used from a simple USB port on a computer: yes absolutely. If you’re asking whether it works to extend a non-powered (day only) USB hub (if such a thing exists) the no probably not.

Is this cable in wall rated?

I have run this cable (33 and 65 foot) up through walls and laid across the ceiling tiles in a commercial place with no issues. It's ran over ballasts, cat6 cable, and pipes. I've used it for label printers, a scanner, and even flash drives.

What is the data transfer rate of this USB extension cable?

The data transfer rate of this USB extension cable is full 480Mbps, and it is backward compatible to USB 1.1 with a transfer rate of 12Mbps.
