I have a Microsoft Lifecam (USB) that is far enought away to required 50 foot of cable to get to the computer. Due to various restrictions, neither the computer nor the camera can be moved. The camera will work with two 15 foot extentions, but will not work with one more. If a hub is inserted, that does not help, in fact the webcam will not work with a hub at all. Other than moving the computer closer to the 30 ft limit (not counting the 6 foot cable on the Webcam), I don't have any ideas. I'm open to suggestions. Is there a better way to do this? The local Best Buy doesn't have anything other than USB webcams. I've also tried a logitech webcam and it has more problems than the Microsoft. How can I get this done? Thanks....Steve
