Hi,
I need to run a USB mouse and keyboard far away from my CPU. Will a 15' USB
extention cable affect the movement of the mouse? How long is too long?

Thanks!
Frank
 
In practice, the USB specification limits the length of a
cable between full speed devices to 5 meters (a little
under 16 feet 5 inches). For a low speed device the limit
is 3 meters (9 feet 10 inches).
