Is that a USB-1 or a USB-2 device? 5 meters are way above
the USB-1 Specs (3m max.).

There are some devices that refuse to work with a hub (no matter
how short the cable is). My -m-Audio Axiom 61 refuses to connect
via a hub - a fact mentioned in the fine manual but _not_ in any
promotional material :-(

I think this is either a bug in their Usb chip firmware or some
engineer tried to be oversmart (i.e. hubs might introduce latency/jitter
hence we won't work with hubs).
