I plan on using a long USB extension cable to wire my rear dashcam to the front of my car's fuse box. Is it possible if my dashcam can lose power or performance if the cable is too long? What is the maximum length of cable I can go up to before my dashcam will lose or not have enough power?

What is the best USB 2.0 A-Male to Mini-B extension cable to buy?

Dont go for "cheap" ones, they will be CCA cables ( Cupper Clad Aluminium ) and that have too high resistance in it, only right thing is pure cupper cables.

Another way is to do like i did, tap into the fuse box and have a extension to the boot, where i now have 3 ciggirette sockets and a 2A USB to my disposal.
