Hello,
I got a 10 metre USB 2.0 cable for my printer and i hae connected it to my computer running Windows XP. It says that the USB is an unknown device. I think i might need some sort of driver but that seems odd for a simple USB cable.
Info for USB Cable:
USB 2.0
10 Metres
Male A - Female B
Thanks for any help,
CCluvler
According to this the maximum is 5 meters without a hub:

Was the cable custom made?
Environmental noise and proximity to household wiring will impede performance.
Nope.
I looked at one of these 5m Activ Extension which apperently can boost your usb signal to more than 5m but do they really work?
I think it's time for a high powered usb standard.
