Long usb cable for apex controller

[mseepman]

These guys sell them. http://www.usbfirewire.com/Parts/rr-apex-xxg.html
They aren't cheap but they are made specifically for the APEX.

You can't get a repeater in the line or it will blow the APEX.

I'm in the same dilemma, but rather than find that long cable, I'm repositioning my head unit to see what I can do with it first.

Thanks. That's the cable I'm looking for but look at that price. Triple the price of one with the repeater.

Really, a USB cable is pretty simple -- just take a a single short Usb, cut it, and insert a 50' length of Cat 6 STP or even some cheap cat5e cable?

Should only cost about $10 or so to make up (you could just by the SB ends and put them on 50' of four condutor wire (cat 5 would be cheapest).

What about running over cat 5?
