USB 3.0 Ultimate Fiber Extender

Extend USB signals as far as 100 meters to two remote USB 3.0 devices using secure, interference-free fiber cabling.

The USB 3.0 Ultimate Fiber Extender uses multimode fiber optic cabling to extend device signals to remote areas of your factory, office, or security monitoring application.

Compatible with the USB 3.0 or “SuperSpeed USB" standard, the extender boasts speeds up to 5 Gbps, about ten times that of USB 2.0. This way, you can extend your USB bus connections to newer USB 3.0 devices that use higher bandwidths and require bidirectional asynchronous, full-duplex data transfer. Plus, it supplies more power than USB 2.0 to the remote devices.

With the higher data-transfer rate and power, the extender is ideal for connecting industrial USB 3.0 machine vision cameras, particularly those with high power sensors. It’s also great for post-production video editing and broadcast applications with USB 3.0 peripherals and external USB CD/DVD drives in different rooms.

The extender offers reliable operation with all USB 3.0 devices, including USB hubs. The local unit draws its power from the USB bus and the two-port remote unit receives its power from the included AC adapter. The Remote unit supplies 900mA for each USB port.
