Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Fiber Optic USB 3.1 AOC Cable. This Cable allows you to transmit USB signals to a distance of up to 30m without external power supply. This cable is a hybrid cable containing both fiber optic and copper cores. It supports a maximum data rate of 10 Gbps per channel, is light weight, flexible, and has an ultra-small fixed installation bending radius of 20mm.
Intended Use
This product is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in bathrooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes (CE), you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc.
Read the instructions carefully and keep them. Make this product available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.
Safety Instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
- The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
- Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous playing material for children. Risk of suffocation!
The maximum pulling tensile load of the cable is 157N (16kg). Never pull the cable with higher load. The minimum bending radius of the hybrid cable is approximately 20mm, bending the cable to a smaller radius will irreversibly destroy the cable.
Pay attention to trip hazards; make sure that the cable is installed safely.
Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapors and solvents.
Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
- If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any accidental use.
Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged
- is no longer working properly
- has been stored for an extended period in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.
Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected to the product.
Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the device.

Operation and connection diagram
Attention: The FX-I545 is designed for use with the +5V passive power supply, provided by the host device through the USB connection. This +5V connection, as well as powering the internal fiber optic module, is also carried through to the other sink via a full standard copper connection. Please make sure, that the host device is capable of delivering more than 500mA.
- Before using this cable, please make sure that all devices which will be connected with the AOC USB Cable are shut down and without power.
- Then you can start to connect the “host side” of the USB plug to the transmitter and connect the “remote (device) side” of the other USB plug to the receiver/display.
- This works without additional power supply.
We do not recommend using any intermediate cables or adapters between the connections, as the signal transmission performance may be attenuated.
Switch on the power of the device of the USB host and the remote.
Maintenance
There are no components located inside the product you need to maintain. Never open/dismantle the product.
