I was going to call bullshit, but you can actually buy 25ft long USB 3 cables. Wild. https://www.amazon.ca/Double-Gold-Plated-Connector-Enclosures-Player/dp/B081YTLDF6/ Most of the 30ft ones are active with extenders built in though. |

The whole idea of USB precludes that -- the spec is clear on this! There are no USB Devices (not Hosts) with a Type A connector. --- Quote ---Most of the 30ft ones are active with extenders built in though. --- End quote --- That's right -- they have a hub in the middle. Of course that is an issue if the Device at the far end of the extension requires all 500 mA. It won't enumerate. |
