The Extron USBA Pro Plenum Series consists of active, hybrid optical-copper extension cables that transmit USB-A signals and power over long distances up to 65 feet (19.8 m). These plenum-rated cables support USB data rates up to 5 Gbps while delivering 5 V and up to 900 mA of power to peripheral devices, enabling reliable extension of USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice, touch panels, cameras, or control interfaces from a host computer in professional AV installations. The ultra-thin 0.24" (6 mm) diameter and narrow bend radius facilitate easy routing through tight conduits, ceilings, and plenum air spaces without compromising performance or requiring external power supplies.
Built for code-compliant installations in air-handling spaces, the NEC CMP-rated jacket ensures safety and approval for plenum environments common in educational facilities, corporate boardrooms, auditoriums, and large presentation systems. The cables are highly resistant to EMI/RFI interference, include an LED indicator for host power status verification, and feature gold-plated contacts for durable, low-resistance connections. Available in lengths from 15 feet to 65 feet, they provide integrators with a future-proof, bus-powered solution for distributed USB connectivity in demanding AV setups.
