The distance is ok for a long usb cable when considering the data pair, but the power pair is probably too small. ?I did some SmartBoard extensions a while ago using cat5 with one pair for data and 2 pairs for power, about 50 feet by the time they were plugged in on both ends, and the SmartBoards worked just like they were using the short cable. ?I had to look up where to buy USB connecters and boots and solder them up myself but they worked out great. ? If you want to use an extender B&B Electronics is a great vendor for that sort of stuff - industrial strength-.
?
I need to set up a simple webcam (Logitech HD C615) with a laptop.? Webcam will sit above projection screen and laptop will be at the back of?a small conference room.? Total wire run is about 45 feet.? Is there a known reliable Cat5 balun system (or any other extender)?to do this??
Logitech warns that they don't support any 3rd party extenders but that some may work.
Thanks.
