I have acquired a laser printer that is too large to fit upstairs in the office, and an ideal spot exists in the hallway about 18m away from the PC.
Does anyone know the maximum distance that a USB (2.0) cable can reliably send and receive information ?
I'd prefer this over a wireless or ethernet solution and associated hub (with their power supply connections) that would complicate things in an already busy environment. I'm prepared to make a bespoke low loss USB cable if I know there is an absolute maximum distance that exists.
Thanks in advance
