USB Extension - DK1

Hello,

I am curious if anyone knows the limits of USB extension for the DK1? I am trying to run the unit across a room and would like to run wires across the ceiling. I am thinking a 25ft male/female extension should do the trick. I have had no issue with HDMI extension of this length but need to know if USB will make the trip.

Thanks

    You can try it, if you like, but I recall there being issues with using cables longer than 10 feet.

    Cables are cheap. Maybe just buy one and see for yourself.

    Extensions worked but I got poor performance when trying to extend my DK2 for a trade show. I think I had 10' cables. I ended up not using them and luckily nobody yanked the DK2 out by accident! Hopefully CV1 will be longer.
