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?
