C2G Performance Series USB Active Optical Cables (AOC) are an innovatively designed solution for video conferencing and extending USB signals in corporate and educational spaces like meeting spaces, classrooms, and other commercial applications requiring USB data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps. The cable’s fiber strand construction reduces the risk of EMI/RFI, providing stable performance when used in high interference environme nts ensuring reliable data communication.

We have designed and engineered our USB AOCs with quality components to give a robust, durable design and fast data transfers, ideal for installation needs that are beyond the length limitations of standard, passive USB cabling. The cable jacket meets the fire code requirements for installation within plenum spaces, like a dropped ceiling.

USB AOCs can only run in one direction. This USB AOC cable features a unidirectional design which requires the cable to be installed in a specific direction. The USB-A connector is intended to connect to the source computer, while the USB-B connector is meant to connect to the device. Most USB devices can be powered by the connected source device and may not require external power. If additional power is needed, an integrated USB-C power pigtail is included on the USB-B end of the cable—ideal for high power commercial USB cameras and devices.

Our engineers have completed extensive compatibility and verification tests with various source computers and devices to validate that these USB AOCs will withstand real-world applications and scenarios.
