USB 3.0

Extenders

The new UBS 3.0 interface has dramatically improved the connectivity bandwidth between the hosts and peripherals across the world because of its superior speed at 5 Gb/s and power efficiency. However, despite the improvement in signal performance, the pace at which USB 3.0 popularity was growing has been limited because of its length limitation, a standard passive USB 3.0 cooper cable can normally only go up to 3 to 5 meters. To break the length barrier for USB 3.0 application, Newnex developed the FireNEX USB 3.0 Extender series that features fiber optic cable or active copper cable solutions to extend the USB 3.0 5 Gbps SuperSpeed signal up to 1000 feet (300 meters). FireNEX-5000H™ USB 3.0 Fiber Optical Extenders Reach up to 1000 ft. (300m.) Max. 5Gbps Data Rate Optional Bus Power via Hybrid Fiber FireNEX-uLINK™ USB 3.0 Active Extension Cables One-cable Reach up to 50 ft. (16m.) Max. 5Gbps Data Rate Bus Powered USB 2.0 Backward Compatible FireNEX-uLINK-DS™ USB 3.0 Dongle Repeaters Reach up to 33 ft. (10m.) Max. 5Gbps Data Rate Bus Powered USB 2.0 Backward Compatible
