USB-verlengkabel ShiverPeaks 3.0 A-stekker optisch, model 30-35095

The USB extension cable ShiverPeaks 3.0 A connector optical, model 30-35095 is an optical USB 3.0 extension designed to extend A-type USB connections while preserving high-speed data transmission. This cable converts electrical USB signals to optical for the long run and back to electrical at the far end, allowing reliable connectivity for peripherals that require USB 3.0 bandwidth over extended distances. It is suitable for setups where maintaining signal integrity is important, for example when extending webcams, external drives, USB hubs or other devices in home, office or audiovisual environments.

Advantages

The optical construction minimizes signal degradation and electromagnetic interference over long distances, maintaining USB 3.0 transfer rates and backward compatibility with USB 2.0 devices when applicable. Its A-type connector form factor ensures compatibility with standard host ports and many peripheral devices. The cable's length provides flexible placement of devices without repeated active extenders or repeaters, while making it easier to route connections through furniture, racks or AV enclosures.

Suitable for

• Extending USB webcams to a distant workstation or camera mount
• Connecting external USB storage or SSD enclosures where distance exceeds passive copper limits
• Linking USB hubs or docking stations positioned away from the host computer
• AV installations and conferencing systems requiring stable USB 3.0 links

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.0 A-type connector on host end and compatible A-type on device end with optical transmission
• Transmission medium: optical fiber conversion for long-distance USB signaling
• Length: 20.0 m (designed for extended runs beyond typical copper cable limits)
• Data rates: supports USB 3.0 high-speed transfer rates (SuperSpeed) with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 modes
• Shielding and immunity: reduced susceptibility to electromagnetic interference due to optical segment

How to use

Connect the A-type plug of the ShiverPeaks 3.0 extension to the host computer's standard USB A port. Attach the peripheral or USB hub to the A-type receptacle at the cable's far end. If the device requires additional power via a Micro-B or dedicated power input, connect the device's power supply as specified by the peripheral manufacturer. After connection, the host should recognize the attached device; if necessary, install any device drivers provided by the peripheral vendor. No special configuration of the cable is required.

Recommendations

Position the cable to avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain gentle bend radii to protect the optical segment. Use this optical USB extension where copper-only cables fail to provide stable throughput over the required distance. For power-hungry devices, consider using a powered USB hub near the device to ensure reliable operation.
