We're using IOGear USB Ethernet Extender (model GUCE51).. about $80 a pop, but you can probably find them for less.. We initially started with 15' USB extenders, but we were having to daisy chain too many of them together. All the ones we're using now have 100' CAT5e cables attached to them, and it's working great.
