FX-I645 – Active USB 3.2 Gen2x1 Hybrid Cable: High-Speed Data and AV Signal Extension
The FX-I645 active hybrid cable integrates fibre-optic and copper conductors within a single 4.8 mm diameter structure, supporting high-speed USB 3.2 Gen2x1 data transmission across extended distances. Its unidirectional construction separates AV signal transport via fibre from power and data lines carried over copper, minimising signal degradation in complex AV installations. The cable’s full-metal USB-A housing and precision gold-plated contacts enhance mechanical stability and electrical performance, while comprehensive EMI protection ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy environments such as meeting rooms, control rooms, and hybrid workspaces.

• Active 10 Gbps Data Transmission: The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen2x1 data rates up to 10 Gbps, enabling rapid transfer of high-resolution AV content. Its active circuitry maintains signal integrity over longer distances, making it suitable for device interconnection in large workspaces or control room environments. The FX-I645 is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 (all lengths) and USB 1.1 (lengths up to 15 m), ensuring

• Precision Gold-Plated Contacts: Gold-plated contacts provide enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. This material choice ensures consistent electrical performance, reducing contact resistance and supporting stable connections in demanding AV installations.

• Unidirectional Hybrid Cable Construction: Fibre-optic strands transport AV signals, while dedicated copper conductors carry power and data. This hybrid approach minimises attenuation and crosstalk, optimising signal quality for professional AV deployments requiring extended cable runs.

• Comprehensive EMI Protection: Integrated shielding and careful conductor arrangement reduce electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable operation in environments with significant electrical noise. This feature is particularly relevant for installations near power infrastructure or RF sources.

• USB-A to USB-B Connectivity: The cable terminates with a USB-A male connector in a full-metal housing and a USB-B male connector, supporting direct device-to-device connections. Downward compatibility with USB 2.0 simplifies integration with legacy equipment.

Reliable High-Speed Extension for AV Environments
By combining active signal management, hybrid fibre-copper construction, and robust shielding, the FX-I645 enables stable, high-throughput USB connections across extended distances. The cable supports seamless integration into professional AV systems, addressing requirements for signal integrity, mechanical durability, and compatibility in meeting rooms, control spaces, and hybrid work environments.
