3m maximum if you want reliability.

They reference 5 metres as the maximum, or 3 metres for "low speed devices" (i presume they mean USB 1/1.1 instead of USB2).. it's a digital signal so the chances are you won't get any signal degradation, it will either work, or stop working entirely. I've not done any experimenting myself though unfortunately..

I connected my Virus TI to my DAW with the 3m cable that came with the Virus. The two live on opposite sides of the desk, so I passed the cable under the desk and fixed it to the underside with a heap of black electrical tape. Works great :>

the virus is a high-speed device i.e. 12mbit (which is still compatible to USB 1.1)

high speed does not refer to usb 2
