    50′ USB Cable or USB Over Cat5?

    Hey folk, Does anyone happen to know which is more likely to work: A 50′ long USB cable, or USB over Cat5 for 50′?
    I need to make a 50′ connection from PC to keyboard. USB at that length is sketchy – sometimes it might work, sometimes not. I’ve never tried USB over cat5 (though I have built 30′ USB cables out of cat5 and they seemed to work fine.). Thanks
