Re: [Digital BW] USB cable length

2002-08-14 by Ake Vinberg

According to usb.org:

"Q2: How long of a cable can I use to connect my device?
A2: In practice, the USB specification limits the length of a cable between
full speed devices to 5 meters (a little under 16 feet 5 inches). For a low
speed device the limit is 3 meters (9 feet 10 inches)."

Best regards,
Ake
