[info-tech] USB

2010-06-07 Thread Lance Lennon

If I have a device powered off of USB, how long can I run that cable?

Looking into SMART Boards and distance that I can have the computer  
away from the board.  (Hoping the answer is somewhere near 50 feet)


thanks and HAPPY SUMMER!

Haven't tried it, but with a USB extender that uses cat 5 you should  
get 150 feet.

That's how we did it in our new elementary school in Storm Lake.  Boards in the 
front of the room.
Computers in the back.

5m  but you can use USB extenders to get more length.

RE: [info-tech] USB

2010-06-07 Thread Wakeman, Joe
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.
