Hello, I have a aquabus 50ft cable but my expansion is exactly 55 feet away.... I am wondering if I can connect a regular usb 2.0 A Female to male at the end of the 50ft cable to give me 56 ft?

Thank you!The Aquabus cable is just a standard USB cable.... so yes, you can simply buy a longer USB cable or extend it.

This is true... however, you don't want to buy anything longer than 15ft because it will have a repeater and that will damage the Apex. The repeater is there to boost the signal which is fine on computers.
In your case, yes buying a 10ft USB cable should be fine.
I believe Neptune sells up to 30ft aquabus cables, for anyone needing a longer one look here, these guys make USB/Aquabus cables designed for the Apex without the repeater.

U should not use USB cable to extend.. Apex says that is a no no... I have 2 30 feet aquabus cables and they sell the connectors that will connect the two of them... Worked perfectly for me...Hello, I have a aquabus 50ft cable but my expansion is exactly 55 feet away....

No.. Use your 50 foot aquabus cable and like a 10 foot aquabus cable.. With the connectors they say... I gave u my example.. Sorry.. I think it's male to male.. I bought that stuff at championlighting.com.... I know they say don't use USB even though it looks like a USB cable...That sucks so I need to buy 2 new 30ft aquabus cables and scrap the 50ft cable?

I was planning on running my DOS in the Garage which will be around 45 ft away from my controller!
What issues will I have if I go with a 50ft AQUABUS CABLE FROM USBFIREWIRE?
I think I am going to just run 1 my 50FT APEX Aquabus cable from my DOS to my my apex eb832!You won’t have any issues as long as you don’t exceed 200’ total length for the system. I would recommend a powered module on both ends though. I run a remote RODI unit using 60’ of cable coming from my EB832 to another EB4 in my laundry room controlling my RODI set up.
