usb extension cable or power issues?
i have a 15m usb extension cable and i need to run more than one device from it.
At the moment i can only run one thing, a mouse.
I also have a usb hub, from tescos and i was going to use it to connect multiple devices to the one usb cable/port.
I tried doing this but it although the light on the port came on none of the devices plugged in worked or showed and lights or signs at at all?? but the hub works fine when plugged into the computer with no extension.
i tried plugging in a keyboard in individually too, instead of the the mouse and it didn't work, so at the moment i can only run a mouse from that port??
I think it maybe to do with the lack of power from the one port but i am not sure. On the 4 port hub i have it does have a 5v power socket too(to allow more powerful device to run off it) but i don't have a power cable for it.
Will getting the power cable help me?
Anyone else had this problem?
