50 ft USB 3.0 Fibre Extension Cable

This active optical cable extends a USB Type-A connection up to 50 ft while maintaining 5 Gbps bandwidth. It uses a 2-core fibre construction that is 60 % lighter than copper equivalents and resists electromagnetic interference. The male plug connects to the host and the female port accepts the peripheral, with plug-and-play operation and no driver installation required.

Suits long runs in studios.

Builders who need to place a printer, scanner, webcam, hard drive or console beyond standard cable limits will benefit from the stable signal and slim 3.7 mm diameter. It is not for installations that require bus power above 600 mA at the far end without an external supply, nor for users who need a hub function or internal chassis routing.

5 Gbps over 50 ft via active optical fibre

The decisive specification is the 5 Gbps data rate sustained across the full 50 ft length using fibre optics, which eliminates the signal loss and interference typical of passive copper cables at this distance. If your device draws more than 600 mA, the auxiliary Micro-B power port must be fed from an external source.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 50 ft active optical USB 3.0 extension cable, and what step is often missed?

Plug the male Type-A connector into the host USB 3.0 or 3.1 port and the female Type-A connector into the device. For devices drawing more than 2 W, connect a USB 2.0 Micro-B cable to the auxiliary power port on the cable. If the device is a hub, supply independent power: 900 mA for 10 m, 20 m or 30 m lengths, 600 mA for the 50 m length.

What maintenance or replacement will this cable need later?

The fiber-optic construction with BendRobust technology resists bending stress and electromagnetic interference, so no routine maintenance is required. Replace the cable only if physical damage occurs to the 3.7 mm diameter jacket or connectors.

What limit appears first during sustained high-speed use of this 50 ft extension?

The auxiliary power port supplies a maximum of 600 mA at the 50 m length, so devices or hubs needing more current will hit that power limit before the 5 Gbps bandwidth saturates.
