Anyone have experience with these (or something like them:)

Anyone have any ideas how well they would work with, for example, the PK202-24-USB?

I'm hoping to place a PLED display about 18' from my PC.

Hi Jim,

I haven't heard of anyone using it before, but it looks as though it is like a repeater for usb. What a repeaters are used to regenerate signals distorted by transmission loss. Typically usb communications can't be used in long distances because of the line lost, but it looks as though the this cable helps for that loss. The PK202-24-USB should work fine if it is treated like a regular usb cable.

If you have anymore questions or concerns, please feel free to post them.

Best Regards,
