Product Features
Technical Overview
This active extension cable operates at USB 2.0 specifications, delivering a data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s. The 24 AWG gauge ensures low resistance over the 50-foot length, while active circuitry compensates for signal degradation typical in long cable runs. Shielding with aluminum mylar foil protects against electromagnetic interference, maintaining data accuracy in electrically noisy environments.
The plenum-rated jacket meets CMP, CMG, and FT4 standards, allowing safe installation in plenum spaces without conduit. Bendable construction enhances routing flexibility around corners and through tight spaces. Connectors feature gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and reliable mating cycles.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Insulation Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The C2G 39935 combines long-distance USB extension with plenum safety ratings, ideal for commercial and institutional deployments. Active technology ensures consistent performance where passive cables might fail, while the robust build supports demanding daily use.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Plenum Safety, Active Signal Integrity.
Plenum Safety
CMP-rated jacket permits installation in air-handling plenum spaces, meeting fire code requirements for reduced smoke and flame spread.
- CMP, CMG, FT4 compliant
- Suitable for commercial buildings
- PVC jacket material
Active Signal Integrity
Integrated active electronics boost and regenerate USB signals over the full 50-foot length, preventing data errors and connection drops.
- Maintains 480 Mbps speed
- Reduces signal attenuation
- Reliable for peripherals
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is engineered for scenarios where USB devices need to be positioned far from host computers, such as in conference rooms, classrooms, retail points of sale, or industrial settings. The plenum rating makes it a fit for ceiling or wall runs in office buildings, hospitals, and schools where cable must meet strict fire codes.
Common applications include extending USB connections for barcode scanners, label printers, security cameras, audio interfaces, and presentation clickers. The active design ensures that devices like external hard drives or webcams operate without latency or disconnects, even at maximum length.
Commercial Installations
Deploy in offices, schools, or healthcare facilities where USB peripherals are distant from workstations and cables run through plenum spaces.
Retail & Hospitality
Connect POS systems, receipt printers, or customer displays across counters or rooms with reliable, extended USB reach.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this USB extension cable?
This cable supports USB 2.0 specifications with a data transfer rate of 480 megabits per second (Mbps). It is designed to maintain this speed over the full 50-foot length thanks to active electronics that boost the signal, ensuring reliable performance for peripherals like printers, scanners, and storage devices.
Can this cable be installed in plenum spaces?
Yes, the cable features a plenum-rated jacket that meets CMP, CMG, and FT4 standards. This rating allows safe installation in air-handling plenum spaces, such as above drop ceilings or in raised floors, without requiring conduit, making it suitable for commercial buildings where fire codes are strict.
How does the active feature benefit USB extension?
The active electronics in this cable regenerate and amplify the USB signal over long distances. This prevents signal degradation that can occur with passive cables, ensuring stable connectivity and consistent data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps across the entire 50-foot length, reducing the risk of disconnections or errors.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
It has a USB 2.0 Type A male connector on one end and a USB 2.0 Type A female connector on the other end. This configuration allows you to extend an existing USB cable or connect directly to a host device, providing a secure and versatile extension solution for various USB peripherals.
Is this cable shielded against interference?
Yes, the cable includes aluminum mylar foil shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI). This shielding helps maintain data integrity in environments with electrical noise, such as offices or industrial settings, ensuring accurate transmission for connected devices.
What warranty is included with this cable?
The C2G 39935 comes with a 3-year limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing assurance of durability and reliability for commercial or institutional use over an extended period.
What refresh rate or brightness details are available?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
