Extron USBA-B/6 (part number 26-751-06) — a 6 ft (1.8 m) USB-A to USB-B cable, the general-purpose length for host-to-peripheral connections.

Six feet covers the common cases: a laptop on a table to a USB audio interface, a rack PC to a control processor a shelf or two away, a workstation to a scanner or document camera. The cable is rated for USB 3.2 Gen1, so a SuperSpeed peripheral gets its full 5 Gbps rather than dropping to a legacy rate, and 5 V at up to 0.9 A is available for bus-powered devices. The UltraFlex jacket keeps it manageable when several are dressed together behind a panel.

Key Capabilities

• SuperSpeed USB at up to 5 Gbps under USB 3.2 Gen1, backwards compatible to USB 1.1.
• Supplies up to 5 V at 0.9 A, or 900 mA, to a bus-powered peripheral.
• 28 AWG conductors in an UltraFlex PVC jacket, 0.24 in (6.0 mm) overall.
• 0.96 in (24 mm) bend radius for routing behind furniture and inside racks.
• Gold-plated contacts maintain a reliable connection over repeated mating cycles.
• Operates from 0 to 50 degrees C; stores from -20 to 70 degrees C.
• RoHS, WEEE, CE and UL-CMX compliant.

Where It Is Used

Meeting-room racks, classroom lecterns, recording and podcast desks, print and scan stations, test benches, and any AV rack where a USB-B peripheral has to reach a host computer a couple of metres away.
