Data cable

[cyberwasp]

Can anyone tell my if I can get a longer data cable somewhere. I like you use a second APC 1500 to monitor my Synology nas but it not that close. TIA

The maximum distance of the passive USB cable depends upon the quality, shielding, and wire gauge (AWG) in use. 

Generally speaking a passive USB 2 cable is 16 feet. You can extend the distance using an active (Powered USB Hub) which can span more than 30 feet.

Again, I stress the quality of cable, shielding, and wire diameters (AWG Size). There are also powered media converters which allow you to use shielded Ethernet  cable for USB.

Using the above hardware will allow you to span 328 feet (100 meters) in the most ideal application YMMV! 👍

Let me know if you have more questions. If not, please mark this as answered so it may help the next person asking the same. 👍
