20m.<br>><br><br>yes, its true that usb cant extend that long with just a cable, also, the <br>maximum length is _very_ dependant on the connected device. here i have a 5 <br>meter cable, no problems. also, usb hubs are really cheap.... but for sure, <br>adding hubs adds latency as well .....<br> <br> <br>> Plus you can get a 300m spool of CAT5 for US$40.
