    You will not find standard USB cables longer than 15’. However, you can use a standard 15’ male/female extender. Neptune also has Aquabus cables from 1’ to 30’ as well as the extension cables.

    No, that will not work. It is an active repeater powered by USB. USB is 5v, and the higher Aquabus voltage (12v) will most likely destroy it and your Apex may be damaged as well.

    USB FireWire makes custom cable lengths without repeaters.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    A custom-made-to-length cable is not needed; the outfit zombie mentioned makes high quality cables specifically for use with an Apex in several lengths. http://www.usbfirewire.com/apex.html

    I do not believe that monoprice offers USB cables in lengths that exceed the specifications for USB (5m for USB2 & 3m for USB3). If you can provide a link, I'll stand corrected.
