I'm looking at extending the cable so I can have the ZigBee stick in a more suitable place but not sure how long I can have it. Is there a limit
I have both running of these, they work well.

Cable length is very hardware dependant on your host and your device and the quality of the cable. Assuming USB 2.0 @ 480mbps I like to keep 3m or less.
The farther you go, the worst the signal integrity will be, and the harder for the end devices to decode the data coming through.
If you are going farther than that, technically you want a hub/redriver device mid- way in the cable but I do use a cable shown in the previous post that is 15 feet long and then another 6 feet to my wife cricut machine and it works fine.
So real answer is try it out. But get a good cable.
I use USB over cat6 adapters in conference room setups sometimes (and for my xbox controller to gaming pc from basement to living room). They work great up to 150feet. I wonder if it would work for the HE stick, tempting...
That is just one cheep sample, they makes all kinds at varying price points.

I didn't even know this existed. How does it know where the other end of the USB is?
Edit - @TechMedX do you extend HDMI cable also ?

Ditto!! Man I have loads of uses for this 
All the time! For 4K we use Alton (4=$400+ 10 year warranty). We also have good luck with the Vanco units ($125) if you only need 1080 (what I use for my gaming pc mentioned above). If you wanna get totally crazy Google HDMI Matrix HDbaseT
All these things come in a set, one side male, one side female. (sometimes HDMI has two outs so you can "duplicate displays") You plug the male side of the transmitter into the computer, or AV equipment. Run your Cat6 (do not use cat 5, no matter what it says) from the transmitter to the receiving unit. Then plug your device into the female end of the receiver. Usually one unit has to be powered (wall outlet) and the receiver gets power via POE from the transmitter (if you get good ones)
We do the same for audio, and just about anything. Cat6 to XYZ transmitter. Can post more details later when I get back, but doing some Googling and you should find all you need to know.
These are direct cables no switches. It knows where the other ends is, since it is a direct wire.
EDIT: and just to go completely nuts, HDMI over water! (yes it works, but has audio separation issues, and is more proof of concept than production ready. I do not recommend this unless you just testing)

Another way to skin the cat.
(If the final destination of the ZigBee stick is accessible)
Leave the ZigBee stick plugged in to the hub, run the hub network cable to the more suitable place.

Yeah, definitely another option. I have my hub on POE instead.
Wait if works on POE? So I can scrap the power cable all together?
Nope, if you want to use an Ethernet cable to provide power to the hub with PoE, you’ll need a PoE splitter at the hub end to separate the data and power connections.
That's what I did to get the hub to the center of my home. Honestly I haven't seen much improvement. However this is the POE splitter you need if going that route.
