The cable included is 6' long. The USB specifications say the maximum cable length should not exceeded 16'.

If you need a longer distance you could use one of the following products:

With these cables a USB device can go beyond the 16' cable limitation. With the Belkin USB Active Extension Cable, you can connect up to four of these cables in a series along with a device cable for a total operating distance of up to 80 feet.
