It carries USB 3.0 \/ 3.1 \/ 3.2 Gen 1 data at up to 5 Gb\/s, making it useful for long technical runs where a short conventional USB cable is not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe high-speed data path runs over optical fiber, while two copper conductors are used for USB bus power. Built-in over-current protection is included on the power side, and the connector assemblies use all-metal housings. The USB Type-A male end connects to the host, while the Micro-USB Type-B male end connects to the peripheral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50 m active optical USB run\u003c\/strong\u003e – provides a 164' host-to-device connection for extended installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 5 Gb\/s throughput\u003c\/strong\u003e – supports USB 3.0 \/ 3.1 \/ 3.2 Gen 1 data rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-A to Micro-USB Type-B\u003c\/strong\u003e – connects a standard USB-A host directly to compatible Micro-USB peripherals\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptical data transmission\u003c\/strong\u003e – carries high-speed USB traffic over fiber across the full cable length\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB bus-power support\u003c\/strong\u003e – copper conductors provide power with built-in over-current protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eQuick Specs \u0026amp; Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Active optical USB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterface\u003c\/strong\u003e: USB 3.0 \/ 3.1 \/ 3.2 Gen 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum data rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: Up to 5 Gb\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: USB-A male\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micro-USB Type-B male\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 m (164 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e: USB bus power over copper conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Built-in over-current protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector housing\u003c\/strong\u003e: All-metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long-run USB peripherals, production workstations, control rooms, equipment racks, fixed AV installations, and technical production systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy It Helps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA 50 m USB run changes the way a system can be laid out.

USB-A goes to the host, Micro-USB Type-B goes to the device, and the entire 50 m path can be routed as one continuous cable instead of building the connection from several shorter USB extensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSystem Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB 3.0 support\u003c\/strong\u003e provides compatibility with the listed high-speed USB interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB 3.1 Gen 1 support\u003c\/strong\u003e provides up to 5 Gb\/s throughput\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB 3.2 Gen 1 support\u003c\/strong\u003e is listed for the same 5 Gb\/s interface class\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptical fiber data path\u003c\/strong\u003e carries high-speed USB traffic over the extended cable run\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo copper conductors\u003c\/strong\u003e provide USB bus-power delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in over-current protection\u003c\/strong\u003e protects the power-delivery path\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-A male connector\u003c\/strong\u003e is used on the host side\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicro-USB Type-B male connector\u003c\/strong\u003e is used on the peripheral side\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-metal connector housing\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the listed connector construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 m (164 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's In The Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Optical Cables by Corning USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A to Micro-USB Type-B Optical Cable (164')\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTrusted Seller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoremicro\u003c\/strong\u003e supplies professional AV, broadcast, conferencing, collaboration, camera, and production equipment for installed and portable workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Corning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487304990882,"sku":"COR-AOC-ABS2JME050M20","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0860\/0738\/files\/CorningCOR-AOC-ABS2JME050M20.jpg?v=1787889380","url":"https:\/\/www.coremicro.com\/products\/corning-50-meter-usb-3-a-to-ub-optical-cable","provider":"COREMICRO.COM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
