Firmata for servos

hello friends. I'm using Arduino mega with firmata to control servos from computer software (mad mapper) . my problem is the connection length. I need to be up to 50-70 meters away from Arduino. is it somehow possible to make this connection trough the ethernet?

Is the Arduino connected to the computer using USB?

There are commercial USB extenders that allow devices to be separated by large distances over a dedicated CAT5 (ethernet) cable. The caveat is that these devices typically have a data rate limitation below that of native USB. This may not be an issue if you are controlling slow devices such as motors.
