Description
Product Overview
Corning USB 3.1 Gen 1 Optical Cable extends high-speed USB connectivity across a 20 m / 65.6 ft run while carrying data at up to 5 Gb/s. Optical fiber handles the high-speed data path, while integrated copper conductors provide bus power to compatible equipment. With a USB-A host connection, locking Micro-USB device connector, and durable metal connector housings, it is built for long-distance professional USB workflows.
5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Performance
Transfer high-bandwidth USB data at up to 5 Gb/s between compatible USB 3.1 Gen 1 hosts and peripherals. The optical signal path carries high-speed data across a much longer distance than a conventional short USB cable. It is designed for applications where the host and connected device cannot sit close together.
65.6-Foot Long-Range Optical Connection
A 20 m / 65.6 ft cable run gives integrators more freedom when positioning USB equipment around studios, technical spaces, and installed systems. High-speed data travels over optical fiber across the full cable run. This makes it practical to place compatible peripherals well away from the host computer.
Bus Power over Integrated Copper Conductors
Two integrated copper conductors carry USB bus power alongside the optical data path. This hybrid construction allows compatible devices to receive power through the cable while high-speed data remains on fiber. It provides a cleaner installation where a supported peripheral can operate without a separate local power connection.
USB 3 Vision Locking Micro-B Connector
The device end uses a Micro-USB Type-B connector equipped with USB 3 Vision locking screws. The locking connection helps keep the device-side plug secured in applications where an accidental disconnect could interrupt capture or data transfer. The host end terminates in a standard USB Type-A male connector.
All-Metal Housing for Improved EMI Performance
Corning uses all-metal connector housings to improve EMI performance around the cable electronics. This helps protect high-speed USB operation in professional environments where multiple electronic systems may operate in close proximity. The durable housings also provide a more substantial connection at each cable endpoint.
Built-In Over-Current Protection
Integrated over-current protection adds protection to the cable's bus-power path. This is particularly important in a hybrid optical cable where data and electrical power use different conductors. The protection system is built into the cable rather than requiring an additional external accessory.
USB 3.1 Gen 1 Hosts
Designed for compatible USB 3.1 Gen 1 host connections with up to 5 Gb/s data throughput.
USB 3.1 Peripherals
The device must support the cable's USB 3.1 connection and Micro-USB Type-B interface.
Not Backward Compatible
This exact model is intended for USB 3.1 hosts and peripherals only and is not specified for backward-compatible operation.
Directional Connection
Connect the USB Type-A end to the host and the Micro-USB Type-B end to the compatible peripheral.
USB 3 Vision Systems
A locking Micro-B connector makes the cable well suited to compatible imaging and vision systems that benefit from a secured device connection.
Production Workstations
Extend compatible USB peripherals farther from editing, capture, or media-production computers.
Installed AV Systems
Route high-speed USB across larger rooms where standard short USB cable lengths are not practical.
Remote USB Peripherals
Position compatible USB 3.1 equipment up to 65.6 ft away from the host while retaining a direct wired connection.

What is the Corning 20 m USB optical cable used for?
It extends a compatible USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection across 20 m / 65.6 ft. It is intended for workflows where a compatible USB peripheral needs to be located well away from the host computer.
How fast is the Corning USB optical cable?
The cable supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer at up to 5 Gb/s. High-speed data is transported over optical fiber through the long cable run.
Does this cable provide USB bus power?
Yes. The cable carries bus power over two integrated copper wires and includes built-in over-current protection.
What connectors are on the cable?
The host end uses a USB Type-A male connector. The device end uses a Micro-USB Type-B male connector with USB 3 Vision locking screws.
Is this cable backward compatible with older USB devices?
No. The exact COR-AOC-ABS2JME020M20 model is listed for USB 3.1 hosts and peripherals only and is not backward compatible.
Why does the cable use optical fiber?
Optical transmission allows high-speed USB data to travel across the cable's 20 m distance while keeping the data path lightweight and suitable for longer installations than conventional short USB runs.
