Product Details
Everything you need to know about this product.
A longer connection for your USB workspace
Place compatible USB 3.0 cameras, storage devices or other peripherals where they are needed while keeping the host computer accessible. This USB-A male to female active optical cable is intended for long-distance USB data connections in workstations, industrial control installations and remote equipment setups.
Plan the remote end before installation
The specification states that no additional power adapter is required at the host, while the remote end requires power. Confirm the remote power connection and supply requirements before ordering. Do not assume this is an unpowered passive extension cable or that every peripheral can draw its power through the full cable length.
Check compatibility
Use a compatible USB 3.0 host and peripheral. USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 compatibility has not been established in the supplied specification and should be confirmed for devices that need those protocols. The USB-A female socket alone is not a guarantee that every USB device will work.
Standard ordering lengths are 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m and 50m. Other listed lengths are custom options; confirm availability and lead time before ordering.
