Yes. Thanks Greg. Had a look at that but I want to escape the limitations of USB cable lengths if I can. I am aware of powered USB cables that will extend that distance somewhat. But my obs is quite large, has 2 active piers working in it and I need to impose a bit more discipline on myself in terms of how I run power and data. And Gigabit Ethernet seems to me to be the way to go in order to have the bandwidth I expect to need in a few years time when we go through yet another technology evolution.
