What is the maximum length for USB 1.0/1.1 Full Speed?

5 meters
3 meters
3.5 meters
2 meters

The correct answer is: 3 meters

The maximum length for USB 1.0/1.1 Full Speed devices is 5 meters. In USB specifications, Full Speed refers to a data transfer rate of 12 Mbps, and the standard cable length for this speed is defined to be up to 5 meters. This maximum cable length ensures that signal integrity is maintained, allowing for reliable communication between the USB device and the host system. If a USB cable exceeds this length without the use of signal boosters or repeaters, the signal may degrade, leading to data transmission errors or device recognition failures. The shorter options presented do not meet the official specification for USB 1.0/1.1 Full Speed, thus reinforcing the standard length adheres to the specified maximum of 5 meters.
