We have smart boards in most classrooms, but in an entire wing of my department the smart board doesn't work. Reason? When we built the wing, 8 or 10 years ago, the installers fitted their own low grade plugs on the USB connection for the boards, before figuring out that they snipped the cables too short. Instead of running new cabling the installers then introduced another extension.
Nobody cared to check it out before accepting delivery and my complaints went unheard by management, until it was too late to RMA it.
And that max length goes down with each coupling.
