Do not use a long extension wire for the USB.


It shouldn't matter anymore should it? What if the USB extension is over
100'? Do you need extra resistance for the USB load side pins?



That would exceed the length specification for USB cables, which is
five meters. They do sell longer cables with a 'repeater', but there are
still limits.


I'm still wondering why anyone would use an extension cable to plug a USB
stick into a computer.

Maybe an old tower case with no front sockets and stashed under the
desk......................................
