I've been using a Icron 410 for over a year without any issues. Its rated to extend a USB 1.1 connections up to 100m/328 ft.  I'm only extending it about 50 feet.

Hi
    I have had another thought,would it be possible to convert to cat5 and connect to a router and transmit the signal to the pc.I am not sure how to connect to the pc,maybe a 2.4ghz dongle?

                                                  Cheers Dave.

From Icron's website:

Can the Cat 5 based USB Extenders operate through a standard Ethernet hub, switch or router?
No. Icron's USB extenders do not use standard Ethernet over the Cat 5 link, and they are not compatible with Ethernet hubs, switches or routers. The link protocol used is proprietary and operates only as a dedicated point-to-point connection.
