Long USB mini lead

[kartracer]

I'm in need of a long(er) USB lead to tether my Nikon cameras to a computer. Is there a product anyone has used and can confirm works well? I think USB spec is up to 5m, but most of that length are extension cables. I really don't want to mess with that, and just want a plain USB-to-USB mini, so anything 2, or, preferably, 3 metres long should do.

If you want at least 5m cable (useful for tethering), I've used the active extension cable from Maplin:

With a D3, 1m A to mini B, Camera Control Pro and no problems.

If that's overkill, they do A to mini B 3m cables for a bit less.

Hope that helps....
