personally have ran over 250 foot of CAT5 from the PC's control board , to props . I have the CAT 5 from the serial port . I have heard that USB is supposed to be further , but , do not have any personal experience with using the USB port myself .
more than likely , the distance the serial out to a CAT 5 , will be more than needed .
