Logitech C920 Extension Cable? Such thing?

[FajardoX]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if there was an extension cable for the webcam (Logitech C920) as it's cable length is only 152cm and I would prefer at least 2m.

 

I read up on some websites and it was recommended to use a USB repeater with 2.0. I found this cable: https://www.amazon.com.au/USB3-0-Extension-Mensis-M-Female-Transfer/dp/B07BGXWZ71/ref=asc_df_B07BGRN7YZ/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341743940079&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1700148464452661697&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071446&hvtargid=pla-675620513903&th=1 but wasn't sure if it will work on the C920 and produce good quality.

 

Edit: I also found this one https://www.amazon.com.au/USB3-0-Extension-Mensis-M-Female-Transfer/dp/B07BGXWZ71/ref=asc_df_B07BGRN7YZ/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341743940079&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1700148464452661697&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071446&hvtargid=pla-675620513903&th=1

 

Thanks.

Is this just USB? You can just grab a good quality USB Extender cable and be on your way. I've always used CableMatters when it came to stuff like that. Either them, or StarTech.

Thanks for the help!

Careful, I've had bad experience with long USB extenders (over 2M generally gets dicey). I'd expect an HD video stream to be a bit janky over an extension. Hell, I noticed some weird glitches in mine today on a zoom call and it's not plugged into an extender.

Yeah I read that extension cables over 6ft could have issues.
