Corning USB 3.Optical Cables Now Available
Corning's USB 3.Optical Cables are now available, offering speeds of up to 5 gigabits per second of data at distances up to 30 meters.
Compatible with most USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices, USB 3.Optical Cables by Corning extend data transmission beyond the 3-meter limitation of comparable copper cable.
Enabled by Corning ClearCurve VSDN optical fiber, the USB 3.Optical Cables are up to 50 percent thinner and up to 80 percent lighter than comparable copper cables, qualities that enable convenient transport. With a "zero-bend" radius, they can withstand bending, squeezing, and tangling without damage or loss of function.
The cables come in lengths of 10 meters with "A-to-receptacle-A" connectors for flexibility to connect devices with different USB connector form factors, such as B or Micro B with short adapters.
They are now available online through Accu-Tech (www.eaccu-tech.com/usb-3-optical-cables/) and Amazon (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JOJRF6K), starting at $129. They will also be available in cable lengths of 15 and 30 meters later this year.
