Web cam problem for Business video conference. 16 feet USB is not long enough to reach laptop. Any solution?

Ken B asked:


I’m having an issue with setting up my video conference system in our conference room. A 16 feet USB is not long enough to reach the laptop hosting/displaying the video conferencing laptop. We are placing the webcam atop our flat screen.

Any solution? Are Wireless Webcams a solution? What do major companies do when dealing with video conferencing?

We will be hooking up our Webcam ontop of our flat screen that will display the video of the other party. However, running a USB down the Flatscreen and to the table is impossible because USB does not work past 16 feet and we need at least 20 feet. Anyone know of a solution? thanks.

We have designed it bury wires (HDMI, VGA, 3.5 audio) coming from a Flat Screen.

We also want to have video conferencing.
We will be hooking up our Webcam ontop of our flat screen. The USB connected to the Flat Screen would then run down the wall, through our burried tunnel of wires, and into the middle of our conference table (along with HDMI/VGA/3.5 Audio jack input.)

However, we have come to find out that running a USB down the Flatscreen and to the table is impossible because USB does not work past 16 feet and we need at least 20 feet. Anyone know of a solution?

FYI: I am not an IT person, I am simply doing it myself and looking for helpful tips and guidance. Thanks.
