Re: USB Cable

I looked around the net for any U.K. on line shop selling such long USB printer cables. But just like you I whas out of luck. The longest I could find whas only 10 feet.

But maybe you can find an on line cable shop that can custom make one fore you?

Re: USB Cable

Ok thanks mate,


I got one of Ebay in the end. I have been reading that USB cables over 5m have a high singal drop off is this correct? I suppose the best way is to try the cable when it comes and see what happens.

Re: USB Cable

Im not sure how big the signal drop will be on an USB printer cable? But if we where talking monitor cables, you are correct the drop will be pretty high.

Re: USB Cable

Having several usb cables and having them connected would also be one way, I guess.
