ilda extension cable

[avimael]

hi, guys im new at this i just have a simple question i hope someone can answer this . i just bought my first laser with phoenix software i m all ready to go. but the ilda cable i got is really short its about 1 feet. so i want to buy a 30 feet cable but they go on ebay for over $100 the question is. if instead of buying the ilda extension cable i buy a 30 feet usb cable i would just have to leave the interface in the struss next to the laser. would that work. those usb cables go on ebay for $20 its a big diference i m not sure if it would work. i think it might but i just want to be sure it will work before buying it. what you all think?

dont extend the USB, it can lead to instability

heres a 50ft cable for like $20something

thats because you were looking for an ILDA cable, you just need any straight through DB25M-DB25F cable

depending on the environment you use it in i have black cable shielded and also white cable shielded... but the choice is up to you the link from flecom work perfectly just make sure the pin connections are 1 to 1 and no lost or crossover pin connections...

Oh man don't buy anything related to American DJ, that stuff breaks on a regular basis... What i use for smaller to medium venues is a Chauvet Hurricane H1300 FOG/SMOKE Pro Machine this thing works no matter what and has a great price, for bigger venues combo of DF50 with Fog Machines... again stay away from the american DJ stuff...
