Hi,

my experience is that a total USB cable length of about 3-3.5m tends to be OK for USB3 (any longer is a problem). For USB2 you can get up to 4-4.5m, but 5m is often dodgy. Any longer than that and you need to have a hub in the middle and also cross your fingers to hope that it works...

cheers,

Robin
