Description

OPTAV OV14UAA-1FO-321 USB 3.0 over Fiber transmits full USB 3.2 Gen1 signals over one simplex LC fiber. It supports both single-mode and OM3 multimode fiber to meet different long-distance layout demands. Meanwhile, the ultra-mini USB-A transmitter draws power directly from the host without an extra power supply. The receiver integrates a 4-port USB-A hub to expand multiple peripherals at remote ends. In turn, it delivers stable 5Gbps bandwidth with two classified transmission ranges for video and data devices. Besides, pure hardware driver-free design achieves instant plug-and-play on Windows and Linux/Unix systems. Therefore, this USB 3.0 over Fiber solution fits machine vision, medical devices and industrial control rooms perfectly. Furthermore, single-fiber design cuts cabling cost and eliminates electromagnetic interference from factory circuits.

Core Advantages of USB 3.0 over Fiber

1. Single LC Fiber Compatible with SM & OM3 Multimode Fiber

First of all, this USB 3.0 over Fiber extender adopts a single LC simplex fiber port. It works seamlessly with single-mode fiber and OM3 multimode fiber for diverse project distance needs. Specifically, graphic and video peripherals support lossless extension up to 100 meters. Pure data equipment can reach a maximum stable distance of 300 meters. To be precise, single fiber greatly reduces cable quantity and rack clutter compared to dual-fiber USB extenders. On top of that, optical transmission fully blocks EMI and RFI noise generated by motors and power lines. As a result, integrators deploy clean long-distance USB links without extra signal repeaters. Importantly, standard LC connectors match widely available fiber patch cords for fast on-site wiring. For this reason, it effectively lowers construction labor and material costs for industrial AV projects.

2. 5Gbps Bandwidth & Full Backward USB Compatibility

When it comes to transmission performance, this USB 3.0 over Fiber unit reaches a peak 5Gbps transfer rate compliant with USB3.2 Gen1 standards. Correspondingly, it maintains complete backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 legacy peripherals. Even better, the transmitter uses a standard USB-A male port to connect all mainstream PCs and workstations. Meanwhile, full USB protocol transparency prevents data packet loss and speed throttling during long fiber transmission. In effect, industrial cameras, scanners and storage drives run at their native full speed remotely. In turn, users freely mix new and old USB hardware on the remote hub without compatibility failures.

3. Built-In 4-Port USB-A Hub on Receiver Side

In terms of multi-device expansion capability, the receiver of this USB 3.0 over Fiber extender integrates a built-in 4-port USB-A hub. Correspondingly, technicians connect cameras, printers, data loggers and touch panels at one remote station simultaneously. Even better, the four ports share balanced optical bandwidth without frequent disconnection or signal lag. Meanwhile, the all-in-one hub removes the need for external USB splitters at remote racks. In effect, one single LC fiber line extends four independent USB peripherals from a single host USB port. Thereby, field installers simplify wiring layouts and cut the number of active hardware units on site.

4. Host-Powered Transmitter & Independent RX DC Power

In terms of power management, the tiny transmitter of this USB 3.0 over Fiber draws power straight from the host USB port, requiring no local power adapter. Correspondingly, users save power wiring work near source workstations. Even better, the remote receiver adopts dedicated DC 12V power to provide sufficient stable current for four connected peripherals. Meanwhile, separated power architecture avoids voltage drop issues over long fiber runs. In effect, multi-device simultaneous operation remains stable 24/7 without hardware malfunctions. Thereby, crews only need to arrange one power supply at the remote installation position.

5. Driver-Free Hardware & Wide Operating Temperature Range

Last but not least, this USB 3.0 over Fiber extender adopts pure hardware signal conversion with zero software drivers required. In particular, it supports plug-and-play operation on Windows 8/8.1/10 and all Linux/Unix operating systems. In practice, the ultra-compact transmitter only measures 62×20×10.5mm for concealed narrow-space installation. Solid metal housings boost electromagnetic shielding and impact resistance for harsh industrial environments. It operates reliably from -10°C to 60°C and withstands storage temperatures from -45°C to +85°C. Consequently, technicians complete equipment setup and debugging within minutes without complicated configuration steps.
