USB 3.0 A to Micro B Active Optical Cable

Model Number : SUMB-3000

The Elike SUMB-3000 is a USB 3.0 A to Micro B hybrid active optical cable developed for SuperSpeed devices that use the Micro-B interface. Optical fiber carries high-bandwidth data while integrated copper conductors support the cable’s auxiliary electrical functions, enabling stable 5Gbps transmission over distances up to 50 meters. A native Micro-B device connector eliminates a separate adapter and reduces potential failure points in machine-vision, security-camera and storage installations. The cable supports control, interrupt, bulk and isochronous USB 3.0 transfers and is compatible with major operating systems, making it suitable for continuous image acquisition, remote inspection stations, laboratory instrumentation and externally powered drives

When it comes to transferring large files, connecting high-performance devices, or setting up external storage systems, you need more than just a regular USB cable. You need speed, reliability, and stability — all without being limited by distance. That’s exactly what the USB 3.0 A to Micro B Active Optical Cable delivers.
This high-speed optical cable combines the best of USB 3.0 technology with fiber optic transmission, giving you super-fast data transfer, zero signal loss, and unbeatable performance — even over long distances.

Outstanding Advantages

Unlike traditional copper cables, this Active Optical Cable (AOC) uses pure optical fiber to transmit data using light instead of electricity. That means no interference, no signal degradation, and no loss of quality, even when stretched across tens of meters.
Here are some of its biggest advantages:

  • Zero Signal Loss: Optical transmission keeps your data clean and consistent, without distortion or lag.
  • Super-Fast Speed: Supporting USB 3.0 data transfer up to 5Gbps, this cable handles everything from 4K video to massive data backups with ease.
  • Long-Distance Transmission: Standard copper USB cables usually max out at 3–5 meters. This Active Optical Cable can extend up to 50 meters or more — with no drop in performance.
  • Lightweight and Flexible: The cable is thin, durable, and easy to route through desks, walls, or studio setups.
  • Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No need for drivers or external power. Just plug it in and start working instantly.
    With its built-in signal amplifiers, this cable ensures reliable transmission from the USB Type-A connector to the Micro B connector, even in complex or demanding environments.

Why Choose an Active Optical Cable?

Traditional copper cables have limits — especially when it comes to distance and interference. The longer the cable, the more likely it is to lose signal quality. The Active Optical Cable (AOC) changes that.
By converting electrical signals to light and back again, it allows for consistent high-speed performance over much greater distances. Here’s why it’s better:

  • No signal loss over long distances
  • Immune to electromagnetic interference
  • Faster data speeds and lower latency
  • Lighter, thinner, and more flexible design
    If you rely on stable, high-speed data transfer for your work or entertainment, switching to optical is a smart move.

Designed for the Modern World

The USB 3.0 AM to Micro B Active Optical Cable fits perfectly into today’s digital lifestyle. It’s made for professionals who need reliable, long-distance connectivity — and for anyone tired of short, unreliable cables.
It’s great for connecting:

  • External storage devices
  • Cameras and media systems
  • Docking stations
  • 3D scanners and sensors
  • VR/AR equipment
    With this cable, you’ll enjoy high-speed performance without worrying about interference, distance limits, or slow transfers.

Final Thoughts

The USB 3.0 A to Micro B Active Optical Cable is more than just a cable — it’s a next-generation connectivity solution. It offers all the advantages of optical fiber — speed, stability, and distance — in a simple, plug-and-play design.
Whether you’re editing videos, managing data backups, or setting up professional equipment, this cable delivers the performance and reliability you need. No lag, no signal drop, and no compromises.
It’s time to go beyond copper and experience the future of USB connections — fast, clean, and powered by light.
