50 m USB 3.0 active optical extension

This SIIG active optical cable extends USB 3.2 Gen 1 signals up to 50 metres or 164 feet while delivering up to 5 Gbps data rates. It uses fibre-optic transmission for noise immunity and supports UASP with native Windows 10 and 8 drivers. The cable is plug-and-play with no driver installation required.

For long-distance USB 3.0 camera or storage links

Suits installers who need to place 4K USB 3.0 cameras or high-speed storage far from the host computer. Not for users who must connect USB 2.0 or 1.1 peripherals, because the cable is not backwards compatible with those standards. Also not for bus-powered devices that draw more current than the port can supply without an external adapter.

Check host port and device power needs

Verify the computer provides a USB 3.2 Gen 1 or 3.0 Type-A port for the male connector. Confirm that any high-power peripheral includes its own power adapter, as the cable does not supply extra current. Ensure the operating system is Windows 10 or 8 if UASP support is required.

Questions about this item

Does this cable need an external power adapter to reach 50 meters?

The active optical cable carries USB 3.0 signals 50 meters without an external adapter; for high-power devices the device's own power supply should be used.

Will my existing USB 2.0 peripherals work through this 50-metre active optical cable?

Not backwards compatible with USB 2.0 or 1.1 devices, so older peripherals will not function over this link.

How can I verify the link is delivering 5 Gbps after plugging it in?

Check the host controller properties in Device Manager — it should report SuperSpeed USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps with UASP enabled on Windows 10 or 8.
