5.6.2 USB Cable Data

The recommended cable length between the host and the USB device should be no longer than sixteen feet for full-channel (12 MB/s) operation, depending on cable specification (see following table).

Table 5-7.

USB Cable Length Data

Conductor Size	Resistance	Maximum Length
20 AWG	0.036 Ω	16.4 ft (5.00 m)
22 AWG	0.057 Ω	9.94 ft (3.03 m)
24 AWG	0.091 Ω	6.82 ft (2.08 m)
26 AWG	0.145 Ω	4.30 ft (1.31 m)
28 AWG	0.232 Ω	2.66 ft (0.81 m)

NOTE: For sub-channel (1.5 MB/s) operation and/or when using sub-standard cable shorter lengths may be allowable and/or necessary.

The shield, chassis ground, and power ground should be tied together at the host end but left unconnected at the device end to avoid ground loops.
