The USB 3.0 active optical cable is designed to be fully compliant with SuperSpeed USB electrical specifications and uses electrical-to-optical conversion on the cable ends to improve cable speed and distance performance that supports much longer distances than standard cable in copper, with lengths up to 100 meters. Thanks to an ultra-thin profile and a long reach, USB 3.0 AOC breaks the distance barrier and introduces USB 3.0 devices into a completely new range of applications, such as long-distance viewing, security and high-definition surveillance, the control of industrial and medical machines.
AOC offers a quick solution to provide longer cables for the USB 3.0 application.
