I always thought that the length was 5m which is 15ft. So that is where all those 5 an 15 numbers come from. Of course can go a bit longer, or even really long with an active cable, but this is the first I have heard of 17m non-active cable.
Hmmmm. Maybe I misintrepreted 15ft into 15m somehow.
Consider me corrected.
