I found that 4mtrs is about max for an unpowered USB cable to work reliably, but then again it may depend on how much you have running through it.
Daniel, I have to go 20m+

USB just can't handle that distance

From the EQ Mod site:
"The cabling between the USB-RS232 convertor / PC and the EQDirect should be a 'straight' RS232 cable. The Cabling between the EQDirect and Mount should be a 'straight' cable but the connector type may vary with different mount types."
