USB 3.1 Hybrid Active Optical Cable
Product Outline
USB 3.1 technology allows for high data rates, but it is quite limited in its effective cable length. Intercon’s new Hybrid Active Optical (HAO) assembly breaks through the cable length barrier and provides a rugged, high flex solution for those applications where a high flex, long distance solution is needed.
Also unique to our product is the inclusion of a copper conductor to provide power to the device. Traditional AO cables consist only of glass or plastic fibers. The Intercon HAO cable is a hybrid that contains both copper and fiber allowing for both power and data transmission over extended distances. In addition, this HAO solution is designed for high flex robotic applications, specifically rolling (C-Track) applications. It’s unique design utilizes specialized materials developed for the most demanding applications. The thumbscrew locking feature insures a secure robust connection to the device.
