    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.

    extension cable for xbox 360 controller

    Hi, you just need a bog standard USB extension cable. However there are limits as to the length of USB extension cables, somewhere around 5M (16ft) or so for USB 2 and about 3M (10ft) for USB 3.

    Depending on how far you are from the Xbox you may then start to need looking into getting a powered USB hub or some sort of USB repeater which is going to increase the cost somewhat.

    If you need something that reaches further than say 16ft then a USB powered hub may be the best option, you'd have the controller connect to the hub using a USB extension cable and the hub connected to the Xbox via a USB extension cable, combining two extension
    cables ( one from the controller to the hub and another from the hub to the Xbox you're looking at around 35ft total length including the controller cable length.

    Ebay/Amazon or pretty much anywhere are the best options to purchase the USB extension cables.

    For example this is a 3M USB 2 extension cable

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasi...tension+cable&qid=1568546574&s=gateway&sr=8-3

    Something that may be an issue is input lag with cables of those lengths but until you try it you won't know for sure I guess.

    Xbox One Kinect working with Projectors and atypical Home Theatre setups...

    I have the same setup as you and with the current kinect i have a USB extension cable. It connects to the adaptor that Kinect comes with. It works well. I hope they include the USB adaptor with the new Kinect so my extension cable works. Its a good question
    tho. The adaptor was for older xboxes to connect to it, but I hope they have a solution.

    what is this cord I got with a Modern Warfare 2 edition

    [quote user="mmarkwell"]The two connectors look like that. One usb the other a female of some kind. But the cord itself is about 10 inches long and is grey like it would be a Microsoft first party cord.[/quote]

    Kinect comes with a short USB extension cable for moving the WiFi adapter off the back of an older 360 console (so Kinect can plug into the rear USB port).
