The USB3.2 Gen1 protocol is limited to 3 meters. Our USB3.2 Gen1 amplifier allows you to extend the
USB3 signal to 11 meters maximum, using the protective shells of our USB3 FTV connectors to resist to the harshest environments.

Innovation character

The integration of electronics into our connectors (Connectronics) enhances their functionality. In this case, amplification electronics have been integrated into the connector backshell to boost the USB3 signal over an additional 8 meters.

Potential for evolution

A complete range will follow, with amplifiers for other signals, such as USB3 Type C, and HDMI. These future versions will certainly use the AOC technology, Active Optical Cable, with transceivers integrated into the connectors at both ends of the cable, so that signals can be extended over longer distances using Fiber Optics. These electronics will be self-powered via the interface protocols, creating a real "Plug & Play" solution.
