I'm thinking about buying the Nvidia 3D Vision kit but if I want to use it, I'm gonna need about 4-5 meters of USB cable for the 3D Vision emitter.
Has anyone managed to use the emitter with an USB extension cable ?

I have a 10' extension cord to my emitter. No issues. I did have issues when I had it plugged into a USB Hub with no extension.

Standard is 5 meters.

Actually yes, Google is my friend, but he told me that usb extension might not work with some guys whereas it perfectly works with others.

Hi
In my testing I have found passive USB cables do not carry the signal far enough. I have experimented with some powered USB extenders that do work.
I've also found that the Geffen USB extender http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=2178 works really well. Its expensive, but is solid as a rock.

Obviously, the smart thing to do is spend $10 on an extension cable first. If it doesn't work, then try something more expensive. If you have lots of money, then go with this response.

Yes that's very expensive /blarg.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':/' />
I've heard that with a single cable ( mini usb <-> usb ) of 5 meters instead of adding an extension to the original cable, that might work.
Have you ever test something like that ?
I really don't want to buy the 3D Vision and then be stuck because of the usb :(

PS : the exact length that I need is 4 meters.

I have purchased $40 powered USB extension cables from FRY's electronics and they work fine. I do not have the model number handy.
I suggest a best way to use is the [url="http://www.kvmstuff.com/extenders/usb.html"]usb extender[/url] which will help in good signal transmission without using the usb extension cables
I found a powered extender with exact same specs as the geffen one andrewf mentioned on monoprice for $11.16. I ordered one, and once I have everything I need I'll post my results.

Anyone who has the 3D Vision kit and 2 computers could try it please ?
