I need to get 3 or 4 usb items into a hub and then 1 cable about 5 metres to the computer. If I use a 4m USB cable and a joiner cable it fails.

Also a USB hub often fails and the computer won't recognise the device.

Where can you get high quality 5 metre USB 2.0 cables (USB 2 one end , USB 1 the other end)?

And a good USB Hub that is reliable?
