[USB extension cable length limitations?]

Thanks. I'll make the plunge and report back results.

[USB extension cable length limitations?]

I have two XBMC installs to do which require the IR receiver be installed 22 - 32 feet away from each PC. Is there any reason why FLIRC will not work with an active 32 foot (10 meter) USB 2.0 cable?

Specifically, I am looking at an active extension cable that is a basically a bus powered single port hub at the end of a 32 foot long run. (http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Meter-Active-Extension-Female/dp/B004AGX4YO/)

How about if there were a powered hub attached to that? Any reason why this wouldn't work through a hub?

TIA!
