USB 3.0 Type-A Active Optical Cable

The Elike SUAM-3000 is a USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-male active optical cable designed for direct, long-distance connections between a USB host and a compatible self-powered Type-A device or powered hub. Electrical-to-optical conversion is built into the cable connectors, allowing SuperSpeed data to travel over optical fiber at up to 5Gbps across distances of up to 100 meters. This design helps maintain signal integrity and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference over long runs.

Its fixed male-to-male format suits installations where both endpoints are known in advance, such as AV systems, remote storage, industrial control equipment and test benches. The cable supports control, interrupt, bulk and isochronous transfers, and is compatible with Windows, macOS and Linux. The remote device or hub must have its own power supply. The SUAM-3000 is intended for compatible USB host-to-device connections; it is not a networking cable and must not be used to connect two computers directly.
