Product Information
Full details
The Lindy 30m Fibre Optic USB 3.0 Cable is designed for users needing to extend USB 3.0 connections over significantly longer distances than standard copper cables, up to 30 meters, while maintaining SuperSpeed 5Gbps transfer rates. It's ideal for connecting high-resolution webcams or video conferencing systems across large rooms or facilities. A key caveat is its reliance on the USB 3.0 bus for power, which may limit performance with very power-hungry devices if the host port does not supply sufficient power.

FAQs
What is the maximum total length I can achieve by cascading these cables?
You can cascade up to three Lindy 30m Fibre Optic USB 3.0 Cables for a total length of 90 meters. You can also combine this 30m version with the 100m version (product #43346) for extended configurations.
Is this cable compatible with USB 2.0 devices?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices and ports.
What USB versions does this cable support?
This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0) at speeds up to 5Gbps. It is also compatible with USB 2.0.
Can I use this cable for 4K webcams?
Yes, the cable is fully compatible with and can extend signals from 4K USB 3.1/3.0 webcams and video conferencing systems.
Does the cable require a separate power adapter?
The cable features a USB Type A connector for power supply via the USB 3.0 bus (5V, 900mA). For devices that require more power than this can supply, an external power source for the device or a powered USB hub may be necessary.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
The product comes with a 2-year warranty.
What does 'low RFI/EMI' mean for me?
Low RFI/EMI means the cable generates and is resistant to radio frequency interference and electromagnetic interference. This is crucial in sensitive environments like medical facilities or industrial settings where such interference could disrupt other equipment.
Troubleshooting
Device not recognized or intermittent connection
Ensure both ends are securely connected. Verify that the host port and connected device support USB 3.0 speeds. Try connecting directly to the host port if using a hub. Check if the host port provides sufficient power (5V/900mA recommended).
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm that both the host computer and the connected device support USB 3.0 (5Gbps). Ensure no other high-bandwidth USB 3.0 devices are competing for resources on the same controller. Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors.
Cable not powering connected device adequately
The cable provides power via the USB 3.0 bus (5V/900mA). For devices requiring more power, connect an external power adapter to the device or use a powered USB hub.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enables USB 3.0 connections over exceptionally long distances (30m).
- Maintains high SuperSpeed 5Gbps transfer rates.
- Fibre optic design offers superior RFI/EMI resistance.
- Cascadable for up to 90m total extension.
- Backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
Cons
- Power delivery (900mA) may be insufficient for some high-power USB devices without additional power.
- Requires compatible USB 3.0 ports on both ends.
- Fibre optic connectors require careful handling to avoid damage.
- Can be less flexible than standard copper cables in tight spaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the male USB Type A connector to your host computer or USB hub. Connect the female USB Type A connector to your USB device. Ensure the connection is secure at both ends.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 devices and ports, supporting data transfer rates up to 5Gbps. It is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices and ports. For optimal performance, ensure both the host and device support USB 3.0 specifications.
Care: Handle the fibre optic connectors with care, avoiding excessive bending or pressure. Keep connectors clean; use compressed air to remove dust. Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid kinking the cable, especially near the connectors.
