Hi Robert,
The sensor is mounted on a tripod mount and has an 8 foot USB cable.
If you wish to run a cable through the walls I would suggest running a USB extension cable, possibly terminating in a wall outlet (for aesthetics).
Personally, I have a 6 foot USB extension cable permanently attached to my HTPC, and then plug in the Colorfact 8 foot USB cable into the end of that. That also gives me 14 feet to position the tripod away from the computer.
BTW, for the record, the USB spec. indicates that the run length of USB cabling not exceed 12 feet, but I have not found that to be a problem in practice. I have been running two 6-foot USB extensions and the 8 foot Colorfacts cable end-to-end (20 feet) without any degradation.
