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 50m without external Power Delivery. The cable is a hybrid cable containing both optical fibers and copper lines. 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.

Operation and Connection Diagram

Note: The FX-I540 series is designed for use with a +5V passive Power Delivery provided by the source device. This +5V connection, as well as the Power Delivery for the integrated fiber optic module, is transmitted via a pure standard copper connection to the Receiver. Please ensure that the source device can supply more than 500 mA.

Before using this cable, ensure all devices connected with the USB cable are powered off and not live.

Now connect the USB plug to the respective device on both sides. This works without additional Power Delivery.

Note: We advise against using additional cables or adapters between the connectors, as this may degrade signal transmission performance.
