ATEN UE3415F USB-C Active Optical Cable

Overview

The ATEN UE3415F is a 15-meter active optical cable designed to extend USB-C connections over significant distances without signal degradation. This hybrid cable, incorporating both optical fiber and copper wire, is engineered for applications requiring high-speed data transfer, such as connecting high-resolution displays, fast storage devices, or bandwidth-intensive peripherals to a host system. Its 15-meter length makes it suitable for large workspaces, conference rooms, or lab environments where direct connection is impractical. The UE3415F ensures reliable performance for demanding USB-C implementations.

Compatibility

This cable supports devices utilizing the USB-C connector and requiring data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. It is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2 standards, enabling high-bandwidth applications such as external SSDs, docking stations, and USB-C powered monitors. For surveillance systems, this means it can reliably connect high-speed USB capture devices or external storage arrays to NVRs or workstations located further away.

Installation Notes

The ATEN UE3415F operates within a humidity range of 10-80% RH (non-condensing). Its hybrid optical fiber and copper wire construction requires careful handling to avoid kinking or excessive bending, which could damage the internal components. The cable terminates in standard USB-C male connectors on both ends, facilitating plug-and-play installation without requiring external power adapters for the cable itself, as it draws power via the USB connection.
