Yes, I think I said that :-) ... you need a special USB cable if you're going to exceed 15 feet.  But they do make such cables, and I've used them, and they do work.  Although for my needs in hotel rooms, 15 feet is plenty.  I don't recall them causing extra problems, but it certainly is a risk.

Converting to ethernet seems more ideal, but I don't know if there is such a thing.  I say that because ethernet can go 100 feet without doing anything special to it.
