Hall Research CUSB3-AP USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1 Javelin Active Optical Plenum Cable, 165'

Discover the advanced capabilities of the CUSB3-AP USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1 Javelin Active Optical Plenum Cable, a high-performance connectivity solution from Hall Research's esteemed Javelin family. Designed to extend USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen1) Super-Speed signals over considerable distances, this 165-foot cable facilitates data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, ensuring rapid and efficient data communication for professional and technical applications.

The CUSB3-AP cable excels in delivering transparent extension of USB 3.1 Gen1 signals, making it fully compatible with a wide array of USB 3.0 devices, including cutting-edge 4K USB 3.0 cameras and high-capacity USB 3.0 memory devices. Its versatility makes it an ideal solution for a variety of settings, from videoconferencing systems to video capture setups and docking stations.

Constructed with a hybrid of fiber and copper, the cable combines the durability and reliability of copper with the high-speed data transmission capabilities of fiber optics. This design offers exceptional immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), ensuring uninterrupted operation even in environments with significant noise.

The CUSB3-AP cable's energy-efficient operation is noteworthy, as it requires no external power supply. It draws minimal power from the USB host connection, which provides the necessary 5V for operation, and transmits power to the device end through its integrated copper wires.

Adhering to strict safety and building code requirements, the cable features a Plenum (CMP) Rated jacket material, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces. The compact cable ends are engineered for ease of installation, allowing for smooth passage through most conduit systems (use of a pulling sock is recommended for optimal cable handling).

While the CUSB3-AP cables are tailored for USB 3.0 signal extension, it is important to note that they are not intended for USB 2.0 or 1.1 devices. For those requirements, Hall Research offers specialized hubs equipped with USB 2.0/1.1-to-USB3.0 Transaction Translators, enabling the extension of USB 2.0 traffic through these high-performance cables.

In summary, the CUSB3-AP USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1 Javelin Active Optical Plenum Cable stands out as a robust, efficient, and compliant solution for extending high-speed USB 3.0 connections over long distances, making it an essential component in modern data communication and videoconferencing infrastructures.
