I was able to reach almost 1000ft of cabling without a hub before things
started going pearshape.
Once they do, you're up the creek without a paddle :)
Hubs allow you to devide and conquer and get longer legs.
If things misbehave, you can unplug legs from our hub until you find which
one is causing issues and then fix that leg only.
