extending USB 2.0 webcam, in-wall cabling

[Kremlar]

Looking to locate a HD webcam about 30' of cable away from a PC. Through a wall, mounted high for Skype use in a small conference room.

Since the cable needs to be in the wall for aesthetic reasons, I need a suitably speced cable.

Monoprice sells a 33' USB extension which gets good reviews, but they say it is not in-wall rated.

I'm looking at Cat5/Cat6 USB extension kits, but it's big money for something that supports USB 2.0 transfer rates (over $300).

Any other options I might be missing?

Look for USB-over-CAT5E adaptors/extenders.

Look for USB-over-CAT5E adaptors/extenders.

Exactly what I was going to suggest.
Monoprice has good deal on a set... like $17 I think.
I've been meaning to get a set myself.

I stated I already looked into those, but the catch is USB 2.0 support. Only one i found that supports USB 2.0 is over $300. Since it's an HD webcam, I think USB 2.0 speeds will be required.

So? I'm sure if you don't run it along any other wiring in the wall (electrical, etc) it will be fine.

So? It's against code for a reason.

Ended up going with this:

Expensive, but working well so far!
