guys,

is there such an extension cable that would allow me to plug the remote dongle into it??

basically, my xbox is hidden in a cupboard with my other av kit, i use an ir/rf extender to control my kit but it doesn't work very well with the xbox because the dongle is not in the line of sight.

if i could purchase an extension cable, i could move the dongle into the line of sight of the ir/rf extender!!??!!!

any ideas?

thanks in advance

get a usb to xbox adapter and then use a usb extension cable or make your own

i did a random search and found this site where you can get the required cables.

http://www.llamma.com/xbox/shoppingcart/cables_and_adapters.htm

ideally you would build your own since that would be the cheapest.

thanks for your help. do you think if i purchased a controller extension and spliced on one of these it would work???

game controller port (http://secure.llamma.com/catalog/product_info.php?cpath=26&products_id=48)

would the cable colours correspond???

thanks
