Introduction

Modern golf simulators from brands like About Golf, In Home Golf, and Ace Indoor Golf use advanced cameras and sensors to capture every detail of your swing. In large simulator bays—often 15–25 ft deep with 9–10 ft ceilings—these devices are mounted far from the PC, making consumer-grade USB cables insufficient for reliable, high-speed data transfer.

Common Connectivity Challenges in Golf Simulator Setups

Signal degradation Beyond 3m passive cable limit

Latency Real-time feedback delays

Power loss Insufficient device power

Newnex USB extension solutions are purpose-built to overcome these issues, ensuring your simulator’s tracking systems perform at their peak—whether in a home golf room or commercial facility.
