[MLB-WIRELESS] Quad Shield RG6 cable for wireless?

[Jason Hecker]

USB 2.0 (high speed mode), running at 480Mbit needs a good quality 
shielded cable.  It should work on normal fullspeed USB cables (12Mbit) 
but I have had to mix and match cables to get some USB2.0 devices to 
work properly.  The shorter the cable, the better.  I have had no luck 
with 5m cables.  1.8m cables seem fine.
