The FX-I645 USB-A to USB-B cables included in the FiberX series from PureLink are designed for optimal transmission of USB signals over long distances. The hybrid construction, consisting of fiber optic and copper conductors allows significantly longer cable lengths than conventional USB-A to USB-B copper cables. This is enabled by transmitting the USB data via fiber optics, which are free of electromagnetic influences / interference and is only supplemented by copper wires for the transmission of power. Due to this hybrid design, the cables of this series are available for very long cable runs between 3.00m and 15.00m, all while being able to be used in complex environments.
The cables comply with the USB standard SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps (also called SuperSpeed+ or USB 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.2 Gen2 and USB 2.0) and are able to transfer data at up to 10Gbps or 900MB per second or upto 480Mbps over USB 2.0.
The small cable diameter of only 4.5mm allows an extremely tight bending radius of up to 45mm (static) or 90mm (dynamic), which makes them especially relevant for laying / installation in narrow environments, such as the back of a rack.
The USB-A and USB-B plugs are equipped with gold-plated precision contacts on the one hand and a nickel-plated plug shell on the other hand. These refinements make the connectors unsusceptible to corrosion and thus guarantee a permanently functioning data transmission.
Due to its hybrid construction, this cable cannot be used for USB Power Delivery profiles. The maximum power transmitted is 5V with 0.9A for a maximum of 4.5W charging potential.
The intended use of this cable is to connect USB huddle cams and/or other USB conference devices, such as webcams or digital conference phones with the operating hardware located far away, e.g. in a separate rack room. These long distances can now be bypassed effortlessly and in combination with the AV connection.
