Topic: Question about modification usb - cat 5 ftp for web camera

[weather1967]

I would like to make a question if somebody for you have try to replace the usb cable with cat 5 ftp shield for to have more distance signal for usb web camera picture .
Because i have observe after 9 meters away with usb cable ,camera lost the signal picture with pc ,and after 14 meters away it lost the signal picture with pc ,if i use hub usb with external power .
I see the usb cable it is shield like cat 5 ftp ,but the inside cables it is smaller and many-ply and not one-ply like cat 5 ftp ,and one-ply cables it is better for long distances.
I wonder if this way we can to have signal picture web camera-pc for 20 or 30 meters away

Sorry, after i saw i put this thread in wrong place ,if the moderators can to delivery at correct thread with Weather Web Cams
Thank you

The right idea Baggins, but a bit pricey, no?    Any way, get a USB Over Cat  5 extended.  $18 bucks for a Sabrent  set from dealextreme.com.  They work like a charm and no splicing necessary.
