Longer USB Cable

We specifically recommend only using a 2M (6.6 ft.) cable.

Some folks have been successful using an “Active Repeater” cable, or by interposing a powered USB hub, but neither configuration is supported.

It would be far more workable to instead locate Raspberry Pi close to the machine:

and then connect to that device and control it using VNC over Ethernet or wi-fi.
