FX-I650 – Active USB 3.2 Gen2x1 Hybrid Extension: High-Speed Signal Transmission for AV Installations
The FX-I650 is an active USB extension cable engineered for reliable signal transmission in professional AV environments such as meeting rooms, control centres, and collaborative workspaces. Its hybrid construction utilises fibre optic conductors for AV data and copper lines for power and legacy data, supporting extended cable runs without signal degradation. The cable features a full-metal housing and gold-plated precision contacts, providing enhanced mechanical durability and contact reliability. Integrated EMI protection and a compact 4.8 mm diameter facilitate deployment in constrained pathways, ensuring stable operation across diverse installation scenarios.

• Active USB 3.2 Gen2x1 Transmission: The cable supports 10 Gbps data rates via USB 3.2 Gen2x1, enabling high-bandwidth AV signal extension. Its active cable construction maintains consistent performance over longer distances, addressing the limitations of passive copper-only solutions in professional installations. The FX-I650 is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 (all lengths) and USB 1.1 (lengths up to 15 m), ensuring

• Gold-Plated Precision Contacts: Gold-plated contacts provide low contact resistance and increased corrosion resistance, which ensures stable connections and reduces signal loss. This construction supports reliable operation in environments requiring frequent connection cycles or long-term deployments.

• USB-A Male to USB-A Female: The cable features a standard USB-A male to USB-A female configuration, supporting straightforward integration with a wide range of AV hardware, peripherals, and host devices commonly found in workspaces and control rooms.

• Hybrid Fibre and Copper Construction: Utilising fibre optic lines for AV data and copper conductors for power and legacy data, the unidirectional hybrid construction enables low-attenuation transmission while maintaining power delivery. This structure eliminates the need for external power supplies during installation.

• EMI Protection and Low Attenuation: Integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding minimises signal disruption from external sources, supporting stable operation in electrically noisy AV environments. The cable’s low attenuation characteristics further enhance signal integrity over extended distances.
