The C2G 75ft Plenum USB 2.0 A Male/Female Active Extender, part number 39936, is designed for extending USB 2.0 signals over longer distances than passive cables allow. This active extension cable is suitable for IT professionals and businesses requiring reliable USB connectivity in environments where plenum-rated cabling is mandated by building codes. It addresses the challenge of connecting USB peripherals, such as printers, scanners, or external storage devices, to host systems when they are located up to 75 feet apart. The cable features a CMP-rated jacket, making it appropriate for installation in air plenums, walls, and ceilings without violating fire safety regulations. This solution helps maintain data integrity and signal strength over the extended length, ensuring consistent performance for connected USB 2.0 devices.
This extender is ideal for situations requiring a long USB 2.0 connection, particularly in commercial buildings where plenum-rated cabling is necessary for installations within air handling spaces like ceilings or walls.
The cable features a USB 2.0 A Male connector on one end and a USB 2.0 A Female connector on the other, allowing it to extend an existing USB cable or connect directly to a device and host.
A Plenum, CMP-rated jacket indicates that the cable meets strict fire safety standards for low smoke and flame spread. This makes it safe for installation in air plenums and other spaces used for environmental air circulation within buildings.
This cable is specified as a USB 2.0 device. While it may physically connect to USB 3.0 ports, it will operate at USB 2.0 speeds and may not support the full capabilities or data rates of USB 3.0 or newer standards.
