    hello,

    can the blackbox be put into the same "control box" together with the powersupply?
    or will the emi kill it?

    is there a maximum length for the usb cable?

    regards dave

    Should be fine. Lots of folks do. Just watch out for heat with that double enclosures (Make sure to ventilate the box)

    Usb: shorter is better. High quality with ferrite filters if you don't use the included one.

    I put my (white) Blackbox and power supply inside an old electrical panel box with no issues. I did add a hole in the door for an additional fan.
