I have been led to believe that 15-16 feet (or 5 meters) is about the maximum length a ADB cord can be to properly use the keyboard/mouse/etc.

Any thoughts/opinions?

I think that sounds about right, it's a little longer if you are using phoneNet Appletalk networking. Why do you ask? ADB is on it's way out....
