Introduction

Thank you for choosing the active USB3 3.1 AOC cable. This cable allows you to transmit USB signals up to a distance of 15m without external Power Delivery. The cable is a hybrid cable that contains both optical glass fibers and copper wires. It supports a maximum data rate of 10 Gbit/s per channel, is lightweight, flexible, and has a very small bending radius of only 20 mm.

Operating and Connection Diagram

Note: The FX-I640 series is designed for use with a +5V passive Power Delivery supplied by the source device. This +5V connection, as well as the Power Delivery of the integrated fiber optic module, is transmitted to the Receiver via a pure standard copper connection. Please ensure that the source device can supply more than 500 mA.

This cable can only be used in one direction. The connectors are labeled “HOST” and “DEVICE.” Each plug must be connected to the correct device to avoid signal loss.

Before using this cable, make sure that all devices connected with the AOC USB cable are powered off and not energized.

1. Connect the “HOST” side of the USB plug to the Transmitter and the “DEVICE” side of the other USB plug to the Receiver / display. This works without additional power supply.
2. We advise against using additional cables or adapters between the connections, as this may weaken signal transmission performance.
3. Turn on the Transmitter/source device and the Receiver/display.
