What is the cable lengths and can they be extended?
Parallel Port ViCAM – Ships with an integrated 3 meter cable. Some users have commented that they have successfully spliced into the cable and extended the distance, or used an extension cable that is sold through Connectix that extends both the printer and keyboard connectors. Extending the cable length beyond three meters results in exceeding the IEEE-1284 specifications and may cause noise in or loss of the video signal. Because of this, Vista Imaging does not support extended cable lengths and modifying the cable would void the warranty. USB (Universal Serial Bus) ViCAM – Ships with detachable 3 meter cable. This feature allows for the user to use a shorter or longer cable for their application. USB cables are available in various lengths up to 5 meters long. Extending this length beyond five meters is possible by adding a powered USB Hub, another cable up to five meters long, etc. up to four times. Cables are very inexpensive and powered USB hubs are currently available in the $35
