Description
Product Overview
Corning USB 3.1 Gen 1 Optical Cable extends high-speed USB connectivity across a 30 m / 98.4 ft run while supporting data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s. Optical fiber carries the high-speed data signal, while two integrated copper conductors provide bus power to compatible devices. With USB-A and locking Micro-USB connections, metal connector housings, and built-in over-current protection, it is designed for demanding long-distance USB installations.
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 over a substantially longer distance than a conventional short USB cable. It is built for professional applications where the host and connected equipment must be positioned far apart.
98.4-Foot Long-Range Optical Connection
The 30 m / 98.4 ft cable provides significant installation flexibility for production spaces, technical rooms, machine vision systems, and other large work areas. High-speed USB data travels over optical fiber throughout the cable run. Compatible peripherals can therefore be positioned far from the host without relying on short USB cabling.
Bus Power over Integrated Copper Conductors
Two copper conductors are integrated into the cable to deliver USB bus power alongside the optical data path. This hybrid construction separates high-speed optical data transmission from electrical power delivery. Compatible peripherals can receive power through the cable without requiring a separate power path solely for the USB connection.
USB 3 Vision Locking Micro-B Connector
The device-side Micro-USB Type-B connector includes USB 3 Vision locking screws for a more secure physical connection. This is useful in professional imaging, machine vision, and installed systems where accidental cable removal can interrupt data transfer. The host end uses a USB Type-A male connector.
All-Metal Housing for EMI Performance
The cable uses all-metal connector housings designed to provide improved EMI performance around its active electronics. This helps support reliable high-speed operation in environments with multiple electronic systems operating nearby. The metal housings also provide a durable enclosure at each connection point.
Built-In Over-Current Protection
Integrated over-current protection helps protect the cable's bus-power path during operation. The protection circuitry is built directly into the active cable design. This provides an additional safeguard for compatible USB equipment connected across the long optical cable run.
USB 3.1 Gen 1 Hosts
Designed for compatible USB 3.1 Gen 1 host connections with data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s.
USB 3.1 Peripherals
The connected peripheral must support the required USB 3.1 interface and Micro-USB Type-B device connection.
Not Backward Compatible
This exact cable is intended for USB 3.1 hosts and peripherals only and is not specified for backward-compatible USB 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
The locking Micro-B connector is well suited to compatible imaging and machine vision equipment that benefits from a secured connection.
Production Workstations
Extend compatible high-speed USB equipment farther away from capture, editing, or media-production computers.
Installed Systems
Route a USB 3.1 connection across larger rooms where standard short USB cable lengths are not practical.
Remote USB Equipment
Position compatible USB devices up to 98.4 ft from the host while maintaining a direct high-speed wired connection.

What is the 30 m USB optical cable used for?
It extends a compatible USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection across 30 m / 98.4 ft. It is designed for installations where a compatible USB peripheral needs to be positioned well away from the host system.
How fast is this USB optical cable?
The cable supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s. High-speed data travels through optical fiber along the long cable run.
Does the cable provide USB bus power?
Yes. Bus power is delivered over two integrated copper wires while high-speed data is carried over optical fiber.
Does it include over-current protection?
Yes. Built-in over-current protection is included in the cable's power-delivery design.
What connectors are used on this 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 optical cable backward compatible?
No. This model is specified for USB 3.1 hosts and peripherals only and is not backward compatible with older USB connections.
