TCH-Thomas Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Are there any limits on how long a usb cable can be? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Don't know if there's a limit but I haven't seen many longer than 3 meters. Quote

TCH-Thomas Posted January 30, 2005 Author Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks guys. Just one more question. On the site Dick told me to read, it says: How far away from a PC can I put a USB device?A3: With the maximum of 5 hubs connected with 5m cables and a 5m cable going to your full speed device, this will give you 30m of cable (see section 7.1.19 for details). With a low speed device, you will be able to get a range up to 27m, depending on how long the device's cable is. With a straightforward cable route, you will probably be able to reach out 25m or so from the PC. Does this mean I can actually have a 25 - 30 meter long cable if I have a hub each 5 meter? Why I ask is in the beginning on same site it sort of says no. Quote

Why I ask is in the beginning on same site it sort of says no. In "theory" yes but we all know how that works out. It's kind of similar to How many USB peripherals can I connect at once? Technically, you can connect up to 127 individual USB peripherals at one time. Due to the fact that some devices reserve USB bandwidth, the practical maximum of devices is less than the theoretical maximum. However, PCI-USB add-in cards provide an independent USB bus to which even more peripherals can be connected. Quote

I had hoped I had found a way for my guinea pigs to not have an excuse to not be live on the internet. I guess I´ll still have to carry the cage back and forth to the computer. Thanks anyway Dick.
