The standard does not define a maximum cable length but instead defines the maximum capacitance that a compliant drive circuit must tolerate. By using low-capacitance cables, full speed communication can be maintained over larger distances. A widely-accepted rule-of-thumb is that for cables longer than 50 feet (15 meters), special effort will be required. For larger distances (hundreds of feet/meters) other standards are better suited to maintain communication speed
