Microconnect MC-USB3.0AB20OP USB-kaapeli USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) 20 m USB A USB B musta

The Microconnect MC-USB3.0AB20OP is an active optical USB 3.2 Gen 2 A-to-B cable, 20 m long, designed to extend USB connections while preserving high transfer performance. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is compatible with USB A host ports and USB B devices such as printers, scanners and meeting cameras. The cable is black and uses gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity.

Advantages

This active optical cable maintains USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds across long distances, reducing signal degradation compared with passive copper cables. The gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. At 20 m length the cable provides a practical solution for locating USB B devices farther from the host without additional repeaters or hubs.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multifunction devices over longer distances
• Linking scanners to a host PC where direct placement is impractical
• Connecting meeting or conference cameras to a computer in larger rooms
• Any USB 3.2 Gen 2 B-device requiring a stable 10 Gbit/s link

How to use

Connect the USB A plug to the host computer or USB A port and the USB B plug to the peripheral device (printer, scanner, meeting camera). Ensure both connected devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2 to achieve the maximum transfer rate. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of sources of strong electromagnetic interference. No external power supply is required beyond standard USB ports.

Recommendations

For consistent 10 Gbit/s performance, verify that both host and device ports support USB 3.2 Gen 2 and use appropriate drivers. Avoid tight coils or kinks; secure the cable with gentle loops if storing. In environments with heavy EMI, position the cable away from large transformers or RF transmitters to minimise potential interference.
