I've heard that the use of passive USB extension cables is
discouraged but what about the new "active" extension cables that
are being sold? Are we asking for grief if we use one? Do they
really work chained up to 80 feet? What happens after 80 feet? Our
planned use would be for a UPS system that must be located in a
shielded room away from our systems (too much RFI and noise). So
there wouldnt be much data traffic going over it compared to using
it for a router etc.
Note that I simply did a search on USB CAT-5 and this was the first
item it came up with. I'm not specifically recommending these
products nor the vendor. You should probably do the same search and
look at other like products. But this type of thing should do what
you want.
The other option are devices that connect you to USB devices through Ethernet.
