USB cable

[ParadigmDawg]

I have to run an USB cable from my office to my AS-EQ just for set up and then I can disconnect.

The distance is 32ft.

According to SVS: "The cable is a USB A/B.

Note that any USB runs much over 12 feet should use an active extension that helps minimize signal loss".

Can you guys show me the best and most cost effective thing to do here including links to get online?

I just don't want to order the wrong thing.

Thanks,

Greg

if your hardwired with a network cable, you can use something like this
a/b is male and female, the same as the connections used on most printers printers usb

but before you spend the money, can you just move the computer for a few minutes?
edit.. all those subs and no laptop

It is a desktop so it would be difficult. I am not allowed to downlaod software on my laptop as it is my company's.

What bandphan suggested will work, but possible overkill for this one...

Imo this is cheaper solution should work as well

16ft active + 16ft passive = bad idea, since usb barely works at 15ft as it is....
See my post above for better idea

I am good with the Monoprice solution if that will work properly. Say "yes, it will work" and I will hit the summit order button.

The cost effective solution is to just move the computer for a bit

It would be a hassle but I may be willing to do it once but not everytime the wife moves furniture and I have to recal the system.

Cheap used laptop? I don't think it needs to be too fancy to do this. Hell, my phone has a processor that is as fast as my old desktop in the office.

I recently got into shitstorm with Alex, so I'm hiding from him

Oi Hai Neighbor !!!


Seriously thou - There aren't any reason why active cable I linked to shouldn't work.

How is a cheap laptop less expensive than 19 bucks of cables?
