What are the USB sockets connected to? or is this just for 5V power? Max length of a USB cable is only a few metres (5, I think) before the data signal degrades too much. You can get longer by daisy-chaining hubs, and there are USB extension leads which consist of a 1-port hub with a 5m lead. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Maybe not a good idea though. Thanks for the info. |

Just plug one of these [see below] into a standard 13A extension cable. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Newlink-USB-CHRGT-Mains-to-1xUSB-UK-Travel-Charger-Black-Mobiles-PDAs-A-MUST-HAVE!! Plenty of other versions available all over the place. Or have a look at this search http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=13a+usb+charger which does have extension cables with USB built-in and other products. -- Rod |
