According to the USB specification, you can use passive extension cables (i.e., cables without an active repeater chip in them) for distances up to 16 feet. Beyond sixteen feet, you need a cable that will boost the signal in order to avoid losing data or, worse yet, damaging USB equipment.. THANKS IN ADVANCE.. Re: USB Extension Cables 2Jul 15, 2011 5:59 pm Plenty options here up to 5m, mostly passive: http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/products/383/ A safer option over longer distances might be something like this: http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/CB-USBEX/383/ It carries USB over Ethernet up to 150feet. Re: USB Extension Cables 3Jul 16, 2011 7:12 pm With experience trying to use 3 extensions together, it doesn't work. Will never break any of your goods, although trying to get the adapters to work does not provide any help. Would definitely go with cray-'s suggestion about buying a longer one and I didn't even know about the Ethernet one either.
