Best Kinect 1.0 (360) to USB converter (for long cable runs) or extension cable?

My Xbox 360e is in component closet opposite the location of where the Kinect 1.0 needs to go. The cable run will be around 30-40'. Thanks.

Kinnect Camera problems with HT setups

Yes, it's a huge PITA. I have my Kinect 1.0 sitting on my centre speaker, under the screen. I have an active USB extension cable to run from the sensor to my equipment rack. Works perfectly.

The kinect 2.0 cable is WAY too short. There currently is no extension available, with only vague promises of support in the future. I have my Xbox One in my rack, with the kinect 2.0 cable hanging in the open and just reaching my front right tower, where
the sensor sits. Ugly and I hate it, but it works.

 

How to connect the cables of your Xbox 360 Console

You must connect the cables properly to run your Xbox 360 Console.

Here is how:

Original Xbox 360 console

• First, you need to plug one end of the cable into the USB port on the back of the console and the other end into an electrical outlet.
• If you have a wireless networking adapter, plug it into the USB port on the front of the console by using the supplied USB extension cable.
• Connect all other USB accessories to USB ports on the front of the console.

Note: You'll have to purchase a power/USB cable if your want to connect the Kinect sensor which you have bought with an Xbox 360 S Console, to an Original Xbox 360 console.

Xbox 360 S console

• In Xbox 360 S console, the Kinect sensor cable does not need to be attached with a power plug. So disconnect the power plug portion of the cable if it is attached with a power plug.
• You need to plug the sensor cable into the AUX port on the back of the console.

 

Hey there ChomskyKnows!

Sorry but there is currently no official Microsoft Kinect extension cable available for purchase. You can usually find a 10' cable at Microsoftstore.com but
it appears to be out of stock.
