5 meters, but you can go over that limit if you are using powered hub or just an active USB cable which is usually 5 meters long and can be extended with a passive cable to 10 meters. It does not required to be powered externally as it gets power from USB port and makes a signal stronger for another 5 meters. As far as I know you can connect maximum of 5 these active cables together to get total 25 meters length with no signal degradation.
