This active copper cable utilizes a bidirectional signal transmission to ensure compliance with USB 2.0 electrical and timing specifications. It features a center booster format, where the active chip is integrated into the female connector, allowing the cable to be easily pulled through conduit or raceways. This specific construction makes it an efficient solution for installers managing cable runs in structured environments. The cable supports both high-speed and low-speed USB devices with a maximum data transfer rate of 480 MBPS. To maintain signal integrity over the full 25 ft (7.6 m) length, the cable consumes 100mA from the host USB port. For extended installations, up to three of these cables can be connected end-to-end to reach a total distance of 75 feet (22.8 meters).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtends USB 2.0 signals beyond the standard 5-meter limitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter booster format allows for easy installation through conduit or raceway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports bidirectional signal transmission for data transfer up to 480 MBPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be daisy-chained up to three cables for a total extension of 75 ft (22.8 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with both high-speed and low-speed USB devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive copper construction with 28 AWG wire gauge and 0.2 in (5 mm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long can I extend a USB signal using the CG38988?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single CG38988 cable provides 25 ft (7.6 m) of extension.
