Radion led and usb cable

[NanoCat]

So I have always been programing my Radion with my Mac Book pro and never had any issues with the usb cable being so short. That was until I accidetly poured a whole cup of coffee into the back of my laptop which fried it. Guess I need a new computer but until then all I have is an old desktop and it is now where near my tank. Has anyone used a usb extension for this. Not sure if the signal will be strong enough once I reach my comp. about 50-60 feet away.

I found one one tiger direct

Any other solutions to this.

Thanks
