    3.5ft has always been plenty long for my needs but I usually run my laptop on a stand in the middle of my setup. I know a lot of people keep the laptops off to the side, so if you have ample controllers/decks/mixers you may need longer but you can easily figure that out by setting up what you have, and running a piece of string from the computer to where you need it, then measuring that to see how long you'll cables will need to be....Sorry if that didn't make sense, I'm a few pints in

    You could always make your own cable too. Buy a USB cable thats long enough and add your own ferrite chokes to it.

    Remember that without a hub inbetween, I believe the USB spec says 5m is the longest you can run.

    actualy, few times it made my head scratch about how on earth i am going to plug myself and switch with other laptop dj in a really small booth where you have space for just like one laptop... eventualy i found a solution and still IMO its worth the cable adds extra resistency and assurance to stability of your system.

    cheers for the replies

    where would i get ferrites form in the UK?

    Are they easy to fit?

    Also what the thing about "grounded only one end" is that a fairly standard feature on pro cables?

    usb cable with a ferrite on one end (not both)

    £2.89 from HK free shipping 1.5m

    ferrite both ends 3m £5.95




    the tech tools one seems a little pricey


    ...now if DJTT did different lengths and colours ....like yellow mmmmmm that would be different
