It depends on what you are driving. I had a inexpensive UMAX scanner that required a power hub just to drive it with a six foot cable. It depends on the reciever in the device you are driving and the bit rate you are transmitting. The 6 1/2 feet is the spec that has to be met. You can get away with better and with a power hub you can get away with a lot more. Truman Garth Ritchie wrote:
