[PLUG] I2C Bus Length

[Casey Bralla <MailList@nerdworld.org>]

I'm thinking about hooking up a temperature/humidity sensor to my Raspberry Pi. This sensor, looks like it would be easy to interface. However, the sensor comes with a 20-inch cable, and I'd like to have the sensor about 6 - 10 feet from the Pi.

 

I've never used the I2C bus before. Anybody have any ideas about the practical max distance from the Pi to the sensor?
