For a 20 foot range, I would recommend a USB 3.0 “active” cable. A passive cable should not exceed 6ft. We have not personally tested these, but they have all come from customers who have had success with them, and I have recommended them to many other customers (who have not reported issues).
– FIRENEX-ULS-05
– SIIG USB 3.0 active cable 20 meters
– Cable Matters 10m active cables
– Corning 20m USB to optical cables.
For other customers who might see this post, these active cables should work for any of our USB 3.0 devices. For much longer distances, the Icron USB-Fiber extender is a popular choice with our customers.
