If possible, I'd like to connect a usb device to a computer around 12m away.
Specifically, my elgato hd.

The laptop I normally use it with, while fine for local recording, struggles a bit with live streaming, so I'd prefer to have it connected to my main pc and just use the laptop to monitor the stream.
So are the active usb cables up to the job? I see plenty of 15m active repeater cables from many companies. Based on the comments, they seem to work, but most people are using them to hook up printers or other items that have their own power. Not stuff like the elgato that draws from usb.
I don't mind if the cable has to have it's own power supply. So are they up to it, if so anyone got any recommendations?
