Anyone shooting 5D tethered?

[Treesie]

I'm looking for a cable but so far nothing longer than 1mtr. I wondered what anyone uses with good results?

 

[admirable]

are you looking for a cable longer or shorter than 1mtr?

 

[Treesie]

longer

I shoot tethered using two 5 metre usb 2.0 cables, one with an active repeater to boost the signal (as it degrades over 5m+).

Ebay is probably a good a place as anywhere for them. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10M-USB-2-0-EXTENSION-ACTIVE-REPEATER-CABLE-10-METRE_W0QQitemZ270549798231QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_USB_Cables?hash=item3efe064d57#ht_2789wt_1167

I think you can get both a standard 5m and a 5m active from Maplins for about £25
