If you have never seen it before. Check out http://www.monoprice.com/ from all I have heard a very reputable company who know that something like a HDMI cable is a cable not an investment. I purchased a 15' HDMI cable for 33% of what the local Best Buy sells a 3' for. It didn't come in a beautiful package with gold lettering but it works perfectly. Steve

I've used 16' USB cords and they work fine. However they are very difficult to find. You can get connectors and string a couple of cords together rather than try to get a single long cord which, like I said, are hard to find. I see no reason why 20" would not work, longer might be problematic as the signal will degrade, result will probably be slower speeds, which, depending on what you need it for, might be OK. I routinely string 10' and 6' cords together with no problem. With several 10' cords (3 or 4) strung together you can shorten the length as needed if signal strength deteriorates too far.

Who can tell me what's the longest practical length for the USB camera-to-computer cable? Ten feet seems awfully short, escpially if I use this in an eventual observatory.
