yes and you also have cat-5 extender with which you can expand up to
hundred of meters (this kind of extender is available for composite,
usb and firewire but could be expensive)
but never forget that a poor cable (or a too long one) may lead to
image loosing or less quality even if the cam "just work"
and this apply to all interfaces
