The short USB cables you recommended work fine, but now I’m finding some situations need cables longer. I’ve two places I’ve had to put extension cords in just to get an extra 8" from the wall plug so I can set the cam in a window. Can you recommend some longer (12’ or so) USB cables with ends that fit the V2 cams? Are there any specs for the smaller housing on the microUSB end? I realize the upper spec for USB 2 is like 15’. ---

USB2.0 allows for up to 5 meters. You can likely save money by using multiple short cords as opposed to one long one with something like this between them > **[Amazon.com: Sienoc USB 3.0 Type-A Female to Type A Female SuperSpeed Coupler...](https://www.amazon.com/Sienoc-Female-SuperSpeed-Coupler-Connector/dp/B012FI0S9M)** > > Amazon.com: Sienoc USB 3.0 Type-A Female to Type A Female SuperSpeed Coupler Connector Color Blue - 2 Pack : Electronics
