Never be limited by USB 3 cable length again!
Our German partner and cable manufacturer Alysium was already proven for its reliable, industrialized copper USB cable assemblies years ago. Now they take away all concerns about USB cable length.
This morning I tested the new 20 meter AOC (Active Opticle Cable), together with our brand new U3-3890CP-C-HQ camera with Sony IMX226 sensor (12MP, high performance, rolling shutter sensor with Back Side Illumination).
At full resolution (4000x3000) and speed (34 fps) the required bandwidth for 8-bit images is 408 Mb/sec, which is impossible to achieve for GigE camera's.
In total I took over 500.000 frames in the morning, which is more then 6 TB of data, transferred over 20 meter cable, without a single frame lost.
So if you have a project where you like to have a high resolution and framerate over a longer distance (> 5 meter), contact us for a sample and try out yourself.
Some key features of the AOC cables:
- Supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gb/s) data transfer up to 50 m over fiber optic cable
- Host connector: USB Type-A plug Device connector: USB Micro-B plug with USB 3 Vision locking screws
- Attached device can be powered through the cable up to 4.5W
- Computer plug and play for USB devices, no driver or software to install
- Operating temperature (case surface): 5°C to 70°C
- All-metal housing for superior EMI performance
- C-Track / S-Bend / Torsional tested.
