Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 43363 Fibre Optic USB 3.0 Extender is designed for professionals needing to extend USB connectivity over long distances, offering SuperSpeed transfer rates up to 5Gbps. Its key benefit is enabling USB devices to be placed up to 300 meters away from the host computer, ideal for industrial, surveillance, or conference room applications. A potential caveat is that some USB 2.0 cameras with non-standard timing may exhibit incompatibility. This two-part system uses standard LC duplex fiber optic cabling for robust, interference-free transmission.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both the host computer and the connected USB devices support USB 3.0 (5Gbps). Ensure the fiber optic cable is not damaged and the connectors are clean. Try connecting to a different USB port on the host computer.

Intermittent connection drops

Check the integrity of the fiber optic cable and its connections. Ensure the operating environment is within the specified temperature range. Power cycle both the transmitter and receiver units.

USB 2.0 camera not working
