Fibre Optic USB extenders allow USB signals to be extended far beyond the limits of traditional copper cable solutions. The Lindy 300m 2 Port Fibre Optic USB 3.0 Extender supports SuperSpeed transfer rates of up to 5Gbps. This Extender is a complete, two-part hardware solution comprising of a transmitter that connects directly to the user's computer and a receiver that connects to two USB peripherals, using “off the shelf” LC duplex fibre cabling.

The extender is ideal for long distance use with remote desktop links, industrial control systems, surveillance control or meeting/conference rooms and external storage applications. This device is fully compatible with webcams and video conferencing systems that support 4K USB 3.2/3.1/3.0. "Off the shelf" LC duplex fibre cabling gives a greater level of flexibility to choose the cable length to fit the requirements of the installation. Utilising fibre optic transmission, this extender provides high resistance to EMI and RFI, perfect for use in “noisy” areas such as hospitals, large retail installations or industrial buildings.

Please note: This Extender is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. Please note that some USB 2.0 cameras use a different timing standard and thus may be incompatible.
