Hi g__day,

I have tried USB 2 cables with repeaters inbetween it doesn't work. I'm currently doing my astro work with my DSI II indoors (gets to 4-5 degrees at night here in melb) and the only way to go by is via remote desktop from wireless connections.

My setup is I have my laptop outside connected to the DSI and my desktop in my room controlling it via a wireless router. I run a 25 metres CAT5E for my hand controller so I can control my EQ6 mount indoors at the sametime while imaging.

Because the DSI is a sensitive device, even if you get say 15 metres of USB 2 cables running through it, you'll loose picture signals and the result will turn out grey (i have tried it).

I'm not quite sure with the CAT5e converters i guess that might be an option for you. If it works, please let me know .

Cheers.
