I don't know about wcIIcam, but I have internal info about other
PPC CMOS camera - maximum 10 feet. If you want REALLY long cable
(eg for security applications, outdoor, etc.) you could be
better of with QuickCam. It does have Linux drivers, and Microplex
company(http://www.microplex.com/microplex/info/networkEye.html)
 has NetEye solution for your problem:

"The NetworkEye Frame Servers are web and FTP servers
 designed to connect digital cameras directly to Ethernet LANs.
 The NetworkEye-Colour supports Connectix's Colour
 QuickCam for WindowsTM; the NetworkEye supports the
 grayscale QuickCam. Until now, the QuickCam was directly
 connected to a PC, restricting its uses and limiting image
 viewing. With the introduction of the NetworkEye, the camera
 can now be located anywhere on an Ethernet network,
 allowing anyone on the LAN to access the images using
 standard browser software."

I have never used QuickCam and NetworkEye personally.
