USB cable and CM15A
« on: March 02, 2006, 01:01:55 AM »

Hi everyone,

Since I'm using a shorter and more quality USB cable, my CM15A is more stable and my macros and timers are working very well.

(I'm using AHP 3.201)

Id be curious on the results of using a USB cable that has a filtered cap like other equipment. would this cause a problem transitting to the CM15A by filtering it?

I have put my CM15A on a filter, it worked great, cleared up all the signals, BUT of course it reduces the range that it can transmit. I want to just add a longer USB cable, but should add a cap, filtered would help external noise, but would it reduce transmitting back and forth? maybe speed reduced?
had a friend fry his USB by adding too long an extension to his USB to get it into the living room, told him after should use at least a Powered USB hub, extra power draw for longer cables.
