Hey, has anyone lenthened the cable that goes to the ps3 on a G27 wheel, or can you buy an extenstion for the cable. I have my TV mounted on the wall in my living room with all the cables run through the walls and floors. My satellite reciever, surround reciever and ps3 are all hidden in a cabinet in the corner of the room to make the room nice and clean, but with my wheel setup it doens't reach all the way over there, so I have to take my ps3 out and hook it up over at the tv... big pain... any help would be appreciated, thanks, Jeff

The longest he can go is 16 Feet with a USB cable. Just be attentive of this.

The maximum length of a standard USB cable (for USB 2.0 or earlier) is 5.0 metres (16.4 ft). The primary reason for this limit is the maximum allowed round-trip delay of about 1,500 ns. If USB host commands are unanswered by the USB device within the allowed time, the host considers the command lost. When adding USB device response time, delays from the maximum number of hubs added to the delays from connecting cables, the maximum acceptable delay per cable amounts to be 26 ns.[25] The USB 2.0 specification requires cable delay to be less than 5.2 ns per meter (192,000 km/s, which is close to the maximum achievable transmission speed for standard copper cable).[26] This allows for a five meter cable. The USB 3.0 standard does not directly specify a maximum cable length, requiring only that all cables meet an electrical specification. For copper wire cabling, some calculations have suggested a maximum length of perhaps 3 m. No fiber optic cable designs are known to be under development, but they would be likely to have a much longer maximum allowable length, and more complex construction.
