Extron USBA Pro P/50 (part number 26-728-50) — a 50 ft (15.2 m) plenum-rated active USB-A extension carrying SuperSpeed data and power in one continuous cable.

Fifty feet takes a USB peripheral out of the room the host lives in. Because the SuperSpeed lanes run on glass multimode fibre, the 5 Gbps rate survives the distance, and the copper conductors bundled alongside keep USB 2.0 traffic and the 5 V supply intact. There is no transmitter, no receiver and no power brick to find space for. The CMP-rated jacket means the cable can go the direct way through a plenum ceiling rather than following a conduit path around the building.

Key Capabilities

• Extends USB 3.2 Gen1, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 signals across a 50 ft run.
• SuperSpeed data rate of 5 Gbps end to end.
• Delivers 5 V and up to 900 mA (4.5 W) of power to the peripheral.
• NEC CMP plenum rated, so no conduit is needed in most jurisdictions.
• Optional external power pigtail for higher-draw peripherals.
• Host power status LED at the female end.
• Rated to 100 N tensile, 200 N compression and 111 N pull strength.

Where It Is Used

Divisible conference spaces and auditoriums with distant cameras, boardrooms where the codec rack sits in an adjacent room, houses of worship, digital signage with touch overlays, and clinical or industrial areas where the instrument and its host PC are far apart.
