The extends USB 2.0 signals via a plenum rated, Active Optical hybrid cable assembly. Utilizing active circuitry in the permanent USB connectors, USB signals can be transmitted on fixed length cables ranging from 8 meters up to 40 meters. The cables can deliver USB 2.0 power up to 0.5W to 25m. The cable is a USB 2.0 cable for data transfer up to 480Mbps.
As a hybrid fiber optic cable, the COMET-UPAAF is immune to electromagnetic (EM) and radio frequency (RF) interference, which could degrade signal performance, the signals on the cable will not interfere with other sensitive electronic equipment.
The USB A male to A female format is not a standard USB approved format. A to A female is used to extend from Host and then a USB A-B or A-C cable is used on the Client side to associate the correct connector. This cable not bi-directional. It will function in the normal USB Host to Client Mode. For best practices the connecting cable used on the Client side should be 1 meter or less in length. Any configuration should be bench tested prior to installation.
