The limits on USB are the same for 1.1 as 2.0 afaik No more than 5 metres of unboosted cable. (I have a mouse with a 6 foot cord on the end of a 5 metre extension and it works on a USB2 port but not a USB1 port)
Maximum total length is 25 metres with active signal boosters every 5 metres. (probably to do with bit times and all that coax ethernet timing stuff from last century.) -- C.

Anyone for a WiFry? <snip> I expect that you could make a USB cable as long as you like, but the signals have a high clock rate so they would degrade past a certain point (that and the voltage drop). 5m might be an arbitrary limit set by the USB specification, but it is not unreasonable, and guaranteed to work.
