The Extron USBA Pro Plenum Series of USB‑A male to female cables provide extension of USB data and power over distances up to 65 feet. The cables support USB data rates up to 5 Gbps and deliver 5 V and up to 900 mA of power to the USB peripheral device. The ultra-thin 0.24” (6 mm) diameter and narrow bend radius allows for installation in tight spaces, including plenum air spaces. These optical-copper extension cables are powered by the host computer, and an LED provides visual notification of host power status. The USBA Pro Plenum Series cables are available in popular lengths from 15 feet up to 65 feet (4.5 meters to 19.8 meters).

The USBA Pro Plenum Series offers the benefits of fiber optics with the simplicity of traditional copper extension cables. Providing the best combination of price and performance, this cabling solution is ideal for extending USB data and power over long cable runs while maintaining full signal integrity and providing reliable operation to support mission-critical applications.

These cables use glass, multimode optical fiber to transmit bidirectional USB data up to 5 Gbps. Integrated copper wiring provides transmission of legacy USB data rates and 5 V, 900 mA of power from a host to a USB peripheral device. Built‑in active circuitry enables optical/electrical conversion and signal regeneration. This circuitry is powered by the connected USB host device.

All USBA Pro Plenum Series products are active extension cables. Each cable is terminated with a male USB-A plug for the host and a female USB-A connector for the peripheral device. A blue LED on the female connector provides visual status notification of host power presence. For peripherals that require additional power, the cable includes a pigtail for connection to an external power source.

The USBA Pro Plenum Series is ideal for Pro AV applications that require reliable cable connection between USB host and USB peripheral devices over long cable runs up to 65 feet (19.8 meters).
