Vaddio 440-1005-061 – Active Optical USB 3.0 A-B Plenum Cable 8m
Product Overview
The Vaddio 440-1005-061 is an active optical USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cable rated for plenum (CMP) installation environments. At 8 meters (26.2 ft), it extends USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connectivity beyond the passive copper cable limit while meeting the plenum-rated cabling requirements mandated by building codes for air-handling spaces. It is the correct cable for connecting Vaddio USB 3.0 conference cameras to a room PC in above-ceiling or raised-floor cable runs where CMP-rated jackets are required.
Product Description
The Vaddio Active Optical USB 3.0 A-B Plenum Cable (440-1005-061) uses active optical fiber technology to carry USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data at 5 Gbps over an 8-meter (26.2 ft) run. Unlike passive copper USB cables, which are limited to roughly 3 meters before signal degradation occurs, active optical construction allows full USB 3.0 performance at this extended length without a separate repeater or hub. The plenum-rated (CMP) jacket satisfies fire and smoke safety codes for cable routed through HVAC ducts, above drop-tile ceilings, or in raised-access floors commonly found in commercial AV installations. Standard USB Type-A and Type-B connectors on each end allow direct connection to a host PC and a Vaddio USB camera or other USB-B peripheral without any adapters. The cable is passive at both ends from the host's perspective — no external power supply is required. Installation crews working in plenum spaces will find this cable simplifies compliance documentation by providing a single factory-rated assembly rather than field-modified copper alternatives.
Key Features
- Active Optical Construction — Maintains USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5 Gbps throughput at 8 meters where passive copper cables fail.

- USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B — Standard connectors compatible with Vaddio USB cameras and host PCs without adapters.
- No External Power Required — Bus-powered active circuitry draws power from the USB host port.
- 8 Meter / 26.2 ft Length — Sized for medium conference rooms and standard camera-to-PC runs in commercial AV installations.
