Question Square USB to USB-C long run

[Kgveteran]

Im assembling a recording studio, and my interface is near my drum kit but my computer and workdesk(DAW) could possibly be farther than typical 6’ cables.

Whats the reasonable solution to gain distance without loss

There's no "loss" as it's digital so it either works or it doesn't, although if it doesn't it can sometimes fallback to a slower speed.

If it can operate at USB 2.0 speeds then that's easy as it's definitely good to 16.4' (5 meters) between each active repeater.

The spec for USB 3.0 and 3.1 is 9.8' (3 meters) but I have never had any luck with anything longer than 3' running at full speed. There are active repeaters for these too so I suppose you could place them every 3'.

USB 3.2 and 4.0 have a more realistic 2.6' (0.8 meters) rating between repeaters

USB to ethernet cable or USB to fiber. That is the best option for long distance.
