    About This Item

    The USB-FC30AA is an active optical cable that can transmit USB 3.0 data up to 100 meters (328 feet).

    It achieves this by using a hybrid cable that combines optical fiber and copper wire.

    The cable is compatible with USB 3.0 standards and offers a SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps data rate.

    The USB-FC30AA has a TX/RX insensitive design, meaning users do not need to distinguish between the transmitter and receiver sides.

    The cable comes with a USB A to A plug configuration, and a USB A to B adapter is included for connecting to devices with a USB B port.

    No software installation is required to use the cable; it's plug-and-play.

    The Opticis USB extension cable, model USB-FC30AA, enables USB data transmission over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) without the need for repeaters. This solution offers a streamlined method for extending USB devices far from the host system. Utilizing advanced VCSEL and photodetector (PD) technology, the USB-FC30AA supports secure and reliable data transmission with high cost efficiency through the use of hybrid fiber cabling. For proper operation, connected devices must be self-powered.

    The USB-FC30AA features A-plug to A-plug connectors. To enhance cost-effectiveness, it employs a hybrid fiber cable with integrated electrical wiring instead of pure optical fiber, while still meeting Plenum grade standards. This makes it ideal for installations where AC power is unavailable near the connected device. Additionally, its bi-directional transmission capability allows users to avoid distinguishing between TX and RX sides, simplifying installation and use.

    Optional accessories include a 15cm A-to-B copper cable and a locking housing, which can be used with Type B devices such as cameras or USB hubs.
