KUSB-3100 Series maximum cable length

Product(s):USB Modules: KUSB-3100 Series

Question:What is the maximum cable length that can be used with the KUSB-31xx modules?

Answer:With the KUSB-31xx modules, the maximum cable length is 5 meters to one powered hub.So for example if you needed 15 meters, you would need to use 3 powered hubs each connected via a 5 meter length cable.The maximum distance would be about 15 meters because anything longer would exceed the prop delay of the 12Mhz clock that the module must be synchronized to.
