OneAV USB 3.1 (Gen 2) AOC Fiber Optic Extension Cable 15.00m

The FiberX FX-I550 is a high-quality USB-A hybrid extension cable with fiber optic components, designed for reliable data transmission over long distances. With a length of 15 meters, it easily bridges the distance between USB devices and host systems without compromising quality.

The cable is ideal for any application where USB peripherals such as Huddle Cams, webcams, or digital conference phones must be installed far from the host system. Typical scenarios include integrating video conferencing systems in separate rack rooms or equipping conference rooms with professional camera systems. The hybrid design, combining fiber optic and copper conductors, provides an electromagnetically shielded data connection while delivering power over copper conductors—without an external power source.

Key Benefits at a Glance

• Data transmission according to the USB 3.1 Gen2 standard with speeds of up to 10 Gbps
• Hybrid design with fiber optics protects against electromagnetic interference
• Ultra-flat cable with a diameter of just 4.5 mm for tight installation spaces
• Minimal bending radius allows flexible routing in racks and behind furniture
• Gold-plated contacts with nickel coating for corrosion protection
• Integrated power supply—no external power source required
• Available in lengths of up to 50 meters

Image Quality & Technology

The transmission technology is based on the USB SuperSpeed standard (USB 3.1 / 3.2 Gen2), enabling data rates of up to 10 gigabits per second. This corresponds to a practical bandwidth of approximately 900 megabytes per second. The fiber-optic data connection is inherently immune to electromagnetic interference, resulting in a significantly more stable signal transmission in complex AV environments with multiple signal cables. The hybrid design combines the advantages of optical transmission with power delivery over proven copper conductors.

Installation & Flexibility

With an outside diameter of just 4.5 millimeters, the FX-I550 is one of the most compact solutions in its category. The static bending radius is at least 45 millimeters, while the dynamic bending radius is 90 millimeters—ideal for routing along the back of racks or through confined installation spaces. The high-quality fiber contributes to this flexibility and enables faster, easier installation compared to standard copper cables of the same length. Pre-terminated with a USB-A plug and USB-A socket, it requires no adapters for integration into existing systems.

Connectivity & Features

The cable connects USB-A host ports to USB-A peripheral sockets. The precision contacts are gold-plated on both ends, ensuring secure, corrosion-free connections over extended periods of operation. Due to the hybrid design, USB Power Delivery is not supported. The maximum power delivery is 5 volts and 0.9 amperes, corresponding to 4.5 watts—sufficient for most USB-powered conference devices and camera systems.

Operation, Efficiency & Service Life

The FX-I550 requires no external power supply and draws power directly from the USB host port. The nickel coating on the connector housings protects against oxidation and wear, resulting in an extended service life and reliable operation for many years. The combination of high-quality materials and a robust hybrid design also makes the cable suitable for demanding continuous-operation scenarios in broadcast, conference, and corporate environments.

Conclusion

The FiberX FX-I550 USB-A hybrid extension cable offers a future-proof solution for installations where USB devices must be connected over long distances with minimal signal degradation. The fiber-optic data connection eliminates typical interference, while the flat, flexible cable design simplifies installation and handling. It is a particularly reliable alternative to longer copper cables in professional AV and conference environments.
