How long can I run the USB3.1 cable to this camera?
Asked by: Rj
The USB cable that comes with the camera is 6 feet. You can extend that further with a high quality extender like the ATEN USB 3.1 Gen1 Extender Cable - 32.8' (BH #ATUE3310) but signal degradation may start to occur over some longer runs.
