Scanner Cable
 

Hi
I am presently using a LIDE (CANNON) 60 Scanner and even though I have tried everywhere I cannot get a 5/10 mt Connection cable.
Does any kind sole have any idea where I might get one please ???:{:{

Sole? SOLE?

It's SOUL, now write it out 500 times!

Oh yes, the max length for a USB 2 cable is 5m.

You can, I believe, extend this by using powered hubs as repeaters, with up to 5 hubs, providing a theoretical maximum of 30m from PC to device.

As to where to purchase said cable - google is your friend. There are umpteen vendors of USB cables.

Here's an Active 5m extension, for example (like having a powered hub in the chain).

You are however, unlikely to find a USB A to B cable of that length. Use as many 2 or 5m USB Type A Male to USB Type A Female cables (active or with hubs) as you need.

You're lucky this thread hasn't been flooded with the fish punsters from Jet Blast, SD!

Maybe I'll tip them off.........

Well I suppose we could flounder around a bit but you'd hake it.

I've not joined in the fish thing before....but do you mind if i have a dab at it?

PS

I always like to throw myself feet first into a new experience.

Please, this is the Computer & Internet forum, not the Computer & Fishing net forum! :rolleyes:
