The ATEN USB Extender (using CAT5) works fine, no problem using remote live view, control, or download.
Both live view and download using the 7D are slower because of the 12mb/s speed rather than USB2. I will be using this with the 350D which is smaller downloads, but certainly a disadvantage is the speed. Perhaps that makes the Lindy system worth it. I remain skeptical about the "active USB" cable type aproach, as I would have thought if that would work, then two powered hubs 5m apart would work (which isn't reliable for me).
