    I recently wired the obsy into the house and am using 100' cables. All my other hardware works except the ST-i. I thought I was getting noise from various power supplies but I unplugged everything and no luck. I have tried everything I can think of. The current setup is equipment to powered USB to RJ45 via CAT 5e to the house. I have a picture of what I am getting and I'm pretty sure it has to do with the distance as it works fine when I move the laptop into the obsy and test it that way.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Zac

    Extenders can be problematic with the high traffic levels of a CCD camera. It is also worth noting that the ST-I requires almost the full 500 mA power capacity of the USB interface. Check the specs on whether you extender supports that; if not then you may need a powered hub.

    I have a powered hub. I'm going to recheck everything because I was thinking it was low on power also. Thanks for working on Saturday Doug!!
