Is there such thing as a USB extension cord? (1 Viewer)

[Rob Varto]

Im not sure if this belongs in the "computer" or "gaming hardware" section but it's one and the same so... can you get an extention cord for a USB mouse? The reason I ask is because I would like to play my PS2 from my couch - which is about 12 feet from the TV. Thanks in advance!

There's probably couplers that would allow you to connect two lengths of USB cables together.

Something like that maybe?

Extension cords are available. I have one myself. You can get them about anywhere that sells USB products.
They will not always work however - you just have to try it and see. If too long, the USB device can get eratic due to lack of power and signal.
