32.8 ft USB 3.0 Fibre Extension

This active optical cable extends a USB-A connection up to 32.8 feet while maintaining 5 Gbps data rates. It replaces standard copper cables that cannot reliably carry USB 3.0 signals over such distances. The slim 3 mm diameter and 20 mm bend radius make it practical for routing through tight spaces in home or office installations.

Upgrade from copper length limits

Copper USB 3.0 cables typically max out around 3 metres before signal degradation requires powered repeaters. This fibre link removes that barrier, delivering full 5 Gbps bandwidth at 10 metres without external power. The jump is worth it when a printer, scanner, camera or storage device must sit farther from the host than a passive cable allows.

Plug-and-play fibre link

The cable draws bus power at 5 VDC and 900 mA, so no separate adapter is needed for typical USB 3.0 peripherals. An optional external power input is available should a downstream device demand more current than the port supplies. Backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps ensures older equipment works without converters.

Questions about this item

What USB-A port spacing does the 32.8 ft SlimRun cable need to reach between devices?

The cable spans 32.8 feet (10 metres) end-to-end, so the two USB-A ports must be within that straight-line distance; the 3 mm diameter lets it thread through tight gaps.

How do I install the active optical cable correctly, and what step is often missed?

Plug the male USB-A connector into the host and the female end into the device; the cable draws up to 900 mA from the host port, so ensure that port can supply 5 VDC at 900 mA or the link will not train.

When would the optical cable itself need replacement?

The fibre cores are rated for a 20 mm bend radius; if the cable is kinked tighter than that or the connectors suffer physical damage, signal integrity drops and the cable must be replaced.
