AV transmitter & receiver Lindy 200m Fibre Optic USB 3.0 Extender

The Lindy 200m Fibre Optic USB 3.0 Extender enables SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data transfer up to 5 Gbps over multimode LC duplex fibre for reliable connections at distances up to 200 metres. The solution consists of two metal enclosures: a transmitter that connects to the host computer and a receiver that connects to the USB peripheral. The extender is powered via a 5V DC supply (3A) and the fibre link eliminates electrical interference, making it suitable for environments where signal integrity is critical. The product is not compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1.

Advantages

The fibre optic design supports long-distance USB 3.0 connectivity with maintained transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps while removing susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The extender uses standard LC duplex fibre and comes in compact, durable metal housings. A separate power supply is included to provide additional power to connected USB devices when needed.

Suitable for

• Remote desktop and workstation connections
• Industrial control systems and machine interfaces
• Surveillance cameras and security systems
• External storage and backup devices

How to use

Connect the transmitter unit to the computer's USB 3.0 port and connect the receiver unit to the USB peripheral you wish to extend. Link the two units using standard LC duplex multimode fibre optic cable not exceeding 200 metres. If the connected USB device requires additional power, attach the supplied 5 V DC, 3 A power supply to the extender. Verify that both units have power and that the host system recognises the USB peripheral.

Recommendations

For optimal performance use multimode LC duplex fibre of appropriate grade and ensure secure connections at both transmitter and receiver. Avoid bending the fibre beyond manufacturer bend-radius limits and place the metal enclosures in ventilated, dry locations. This product is intended for USB 3.0 devices; do not expect backward compatibility with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 peripherals.
