GSM Outdoors USB 3.1 Fiber Optical Extension Cable 40M

SKU CH-BY0H-ZVMZ9

A 40-metre fibre-optical USB 3.1 extension cable delivering 10 Gbps over long distances without signal loss or external power

  • Transmits data at 10Gbps over 40 metres with zero signal loss
  • Fibre-optic design keeps cable diameter to 4.8 mm for easy routing
  • Plug-and-play operation with no external power supply required
  • Kevlar-reinforced hybrid construction withstands pulling force and repeated bending
  • Compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 2 and USB 2.0 devices at 480Mbps

40-metre USB 3.1 fibre extension

This 40-metre active optical cable extends a USB 3.1 connection up to 10 Gbps without signal loss. It uses OM3 multi-mode fibre with copper conductors and Kevlar reinforcement for a 4.8 mm outer diameter. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no external power supply. It is aimed at industrial cameras, machine-vision systems, medical monitors, security installations, printers, scanners, touch screens and cameras where copper cables cannot reach.

Replaces copper USB cables beyond five metres

Standard copper USB 3.1 cables lose integrity past five metres; this fibre link maintains 10 Gbps up to 50 metres with zero data loss. The upgrade is worth it when the host and device must be separated by long runs in electrically noisy environments such as factory floors or medical suites. It does not serve buyers who need USB 1.1 support for keyboards or mice, nor those who require bus power or touch-screen power delivery over the cable.

Plug-and-play with no driver install

Both ends carry standard USB-A connectors so installation is a simple insertion at each port. The hybrid fibre-copper construction resists pulling forces and tight bends during routing. The only common issue is attempting to run USB 1.1 peripherals or expecting the link to charge devices; the cable carries data and audio-video signals only.

Questions about this item

What is the outer diameter of the 40M cable for routing through conduit?

The cable outer diameter is 4.8 mm, making it suitable for tight conduit runs and easy installation.

Does the 40M extension require an external power adapter for the active optical engine?

No external power supply is needed; the hybrid OM3 fiber and copper construction draws power from the USB 3.1 host port for plug-and-play operation.

Will the USB 2.0 480Mbps fallback on this 40M cable keep a keyboard or mouse working reliably?

The cable does not support USB 1.1 signalling, so keyboards, mice and other low-speed peripherals will not function over this link.
