Introduction
Thank you for choosing the active USB 3.2 Gen 1 AOC cable. With this cable, you can transmit USB signals up to a distance of 15m without external power supply. The cable is a hybrid cable containing both optical fiber and copper conductors.
It supports a maximum data rate of 5 Gbit/s per channel, is lightweight, flexible, and has a very small bending radius of only 20 mm.
Intended Use
Use is only permitted indoors, i.e., not outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g., in bathrooms or similar environments, must be strictly avoided.
For safety and approval reasons (CE), you must not modify and/or alter the product. Using the product for purposes other than those described may damage the product. Additionally, improper use can cause hazards such as short circuit, fire, electric shock, etc.
Please read the user manual carefully and keep it. Pass the product on to third parties only together with the user manual.
Safety Instructions
Please read the user manual carefully and especially observe the safety instructions. If you do not follow the safety instructions and the guidelines for proper handling in this user manual, we accept no liability for any resulting personal injury or property damage. In such cases, the warranty/guarantee will also become void.
This product is not a toy. Keep it away from children and pets. Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly. It could become a dangerous toy for children. Risk of suffocation!
The maximum tensile load of the cable is 157N (16kg). Never pull the cable with a higher load. The minimum bending radius of the hybrid cable is approx. 20 mm. If the cable is bent to a smaller radius, it will be irreversibly damaged.
Be aware of tripping hazards; ensure that the cable is securely installed.
Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong shocks, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapors, and solvents. Do not expose the product to mechanical stress.
If safe operation is no longer possible, take the product out of service and protect it from unintentional use.
- has visible damage
- no longer functions properly
- has been stored for an extended period under unfavorable environmental conditions or
- has been subjected to significant transport stress.
Handle the product carefully. The product can be damaged by shocks, impacts, or even falling from a low height.
Also observe the safety instructions and operating manuals of the other devices to which the product is connected.
Consult an expert if you have any doubts about the operation, safety, or connection of the product.

Operating and Connection Diagram
Note: The FX-I600 series is designed for use with a +5V passive power supply provided by the source device. This +5V connection, as well as the power supply 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 marked "HOST" and "DEVICE." Each plug must be connected to the correct device to avoid signal loss.
Before using this cable, make sure all devices connected with the AOC USB cable are switched off and not powered.
Connect the "HOST" side of the USB connector to the Transmitter and the "DEVICE" side of the other USB connector to the Receiver / Display. This works without additional power supply.
We advise against using additional cables or adapters between the connectors, as the signal transmission performance may be degraded. Turn on the Transmitter/source device and the Receiver/display.
Maintenance
There are no components inside the product that require maintenance by you, so never open/disassemble it.
Have maintenance, adjustment, and repair work carried out exclusively by a specialist or a professional workshop.
If you have any questions that cannot be answered in this user manual, please contact our technical support or a qualified expert.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, disconnect the product from all connected devices.
Do not use scouring agents, solvents, aggressive cleaning agents, cleaning alcohol, or other chemical solutions, as these may damage the housing or impair the function.
