Re: USB -> Cat 5

I did a similar thing but used USB all the way - Got a 10 m cable from
either Craplins or PCW, Can't remember which.

I was a bit dubious at first but it seemed to work.

I've ended up with a print server now so the looong USB is redundant.

Mail me off list if you're interested in paying the postage for it.

Cheers

Anyone know if it's possible to extend a USB cable via Cat5 ?

I guess I can't run back to Node 0 and then out again, but is it possible
to
run a bit of Cat5 a couple of metres under the floor and use this to extend
a USB cable ? I want to have a couple of runs from one side of my office to
the other so I can put the printers & scanner off my main desk area and
on
the cupboards.
