Description
Product Overview
Corning USB 3.1 Gen 1 Optical Cable extends high-speed USB connectivity across a 50 m / 164 ft cable run while supporting data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s. Optical fiber carries the high-speed data signal, while two integrated copper wires provide bus power to compatible equipment. With a USB Type-A host connector, locking Micro-USB Type-B device connector, all-metal housing, and built-in over-current protection, it is designed for demanding long-distance professional USB installations.
5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Performance
Transfer USB 3.1 Gen 1 data at up to 5 Gb/s between compatible hosts and peripherals. The optical signal path is designed to carry high-speed data across a much longer distance than conventional short USB cabling. This makes the cable suitable for professional installations where equipment must be positioned far from the host.
164-Foot Long-Range Optical Connection
The 50 m / 164 ft cable provides extensive installation flexibility across studios, technical rooms, machine vision systems, and other professional environments. High-speed USB data travels over optical fiber across the full cable length. Compatible equipment can therefore be positioned far from the host computer while retaining a direct wired USB connection.
Bus Power over Integrated Copper Wires
Two copper wires are integrated into the cable to provide USB bus power while high-speed data is transported over optical fiber. This hybrid construction combines long-range optical data transmission with electrical power delivery in a single cable. Compatible devices can therefore receive bus power through the 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. The locking design is useful in professional systems where an accidental disconnect could interrupt data transfer. The host end uses a standard USB Type-A male connector.
All-Metal Housing for EMI Performance
Corning uses all-metal connector housings to provide superior EMI performance around the active cable electronics. This construction helps support reliable high-speed operation in professional environments where multiple electronic systems may operate nearby. The metal housing also provides a durable enclosure at each endpoint.
Built-In Over-Current Protection
Integrated over-current protection is built into the cable's bus-power system. This adds protection to the electrical power path while the optical fibers handle high-speed data transmission. The protection is integrated directly into the active cable design without requiring an additional external accessory.
USB 3.1 Hosts
Designed for compatible USB 3.1 host systems using the USB Type-A connection.
USB 3.1 Peripherals
Intended for compatible USB 3.1 peripheral devices using the Micro-USB Type-B connection.
Not Backward Compatible
This exact model is specified for USB 3.1 hosts and peripherals only and is not backward compatible.
Directional Connection
The USB Type-A plug connects to the host, while the Micro-USB Type-B plug connects to the compatible device.
USB 3 Vision Systems
The locking Micro-B connector is well suited to compatible USB 3 Vision equipment that benefits from a secured device-side connection.
Machine Vision Installations
Position compatible USB imaging equipment farther away from the host while maintaining a high-speed wired connection.
Production Systems
Extend compatible USB equipment across large production spaces where standard short USB cable lengths are not practical.
Remote USB Equipment
Place compatible USB 3.1 peripherals up to 164 ft from the host system while retaining direct optical data connectivity.

What is the 50 m Corning USB optical cable used for?
It extends a compatible USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection across 50 m / 164 ft. It is intended for installations where compatible USB equipment must be positioned far from the host computer.
How fast is the 164-foot optical cable?
The cable supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s. High-speed data is transported over optical fiber.
Does the cable provide USB bus power?
Yes. Bus power is delivered over two integrated copper wires while the high-speed data path uses optical fiber.
Does it include over-current protection?
Yes. Built-in over-current protection is included as part of the cable's bus-power design.
What connectors are used?
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?
No. This model is specified for USB 3.1 hosts and peripherals only and is not backward compatible.
