When I went to RMA one of these units that was no longer booting, they
asked me about the length of the cable.  I was using the one that came
with the unit so that shouldn't have been the issue but I too find it
strange that a longer cable could affect a production, off-the-shelf unit
like that.  Sounds to me like a pretty crappy transceiver in the unit.

$0.02,
