Lindy Fibre Optic USB Extender - 350m

No, the Lindy 350m Fibre Optic USB 3.0 Extender is not backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. Both the host computer's port and the peripheral must be USB 3.0 (or higher compatible, like USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 1) for it to function.

You need a standard LC duplex fibre optic cable. The 'LC' refers to the connector type, and 'duplex' means it has two fibers for sending and receiving data simultaneously. The cable length should be chosen based on your required distance, up to the 350m maximum.

Yes, both the transmitter and receiver units require their own external power adapters to function correctly.

No, this extender requires a duplex fibre optic cable, which has two fibers, for the full USB 3.0 communication (sending and receiving).

The extender supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps.

Yes, the fibre optic transmission is highly resistant to EMI and RFI, making it ideal for use in sensitive or 'noisy' environments such as hospitals, industrial buildings, or large retail installations.

The Lindy 350m Fibre Optic USB 3.0 Extender comes with a 2-year warranty.

Verify that both the transmitter and receiver are powered on. Ensure the USB 3.0 cable connecting the transmitter to the PC is secure. Check that the LC duplex fibre optic cable is correctly seated at both ends. Confirm the peripheral and PC are USB 3.0 compatible and that the extender is not being used with a USB 2.0 device.

Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 port on both the host and peripheral. Check the quality of the LC duplex fibre optic cable; a damaged or low-quality cable can affect performance. Verify that the host computer's USB controller is not experiencing high load from other devices.

Inspect the fibre optic cable for any damage or improper connection. Try a different LC duplex fibre optic cable. Ensure the power adapters are securely connected and providing stable power to both units. Check for sources of extreme electromagnetic interference near the setup, although the fibre optic nature minimizes this.

Confirm that the power adapter is securely plugged into the unit and the wall outlet. Try a different wall outlet. Ensure you are using the correct, original power adapter supplied with the unit.
