USB Cable Maximum Length?

Has anyone tried an active USB cable or a Hub so you can use Maschine further away from your PC? I'd like to go 20-25 feet if it can be done. I've seen these cables for USB 3.0 but not for 2.0.

    You can get USB2 active cables from Amazon that should work. Or if it doesn't Amazon love returns :)

    When it’s only about sending data, length shouldn’t be a BIG problem.

    If you also use the audio interface, active USB can help you (more on the “noises” aspect, latency added is very little). 2.0 ones (or extenders) exist.

    At least…that’s what I read time ago

    Surely what matters the most is the quality

    I am using a Club 3D cable (https://www.club-3d.com/en/cat/1606/cable/) — USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C to C Active Bi-directional 5m / 16.4ft — on my M2 Max MacBook Pro (MBP) with one end hook to my MBP and the other to a Orico USB 3.2 Gen 2 Hub which has a Maschine Mk3, Maschine Jam, Yamaha MG10XU mixer, and a HDD Docking Station. So far it has been working for me with no issue.
