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).
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.
