Title: [USB] Need to connect device +/- 10 meters from computer
Post by: arne on April 29, 2011, 03:30:34 AM

So I need to connect a device (Hauppauge HD PVR) with my computer. The device is at a range of +/- 10 meters from my computer and neither of them can be replaced.

This is what I have:

• 8 * 1.5 USB extensioncable (male-female)

Obviously, just using 6 or 7 extenders doesn't work because the signal is too weak then.

So I was wondering what I should use to make this work?

Thanks!
