Detailed Specifications

The Eaton U428F-30M-D3 is a high-performance Tripp Lite Series USB-A to USB-C Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed to extend USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transmission over long distances. This fiber optic cable overcomes the inherent length limitations of traditional copper USB cabling, making it ideal for connecting USB devices across rooms or facilities without signal degradation. It enables flexible placement of USB-C peripherals, such as external hard drives, security cameras, or interactive displays, up to 30 meters from the host computer. Operating at speeds up to 10 Gbps, the U428F-30M-D3 ensures rapid data transfers, supporting demanding applications where bandwidth and low latency are crucial. The cable's active optical technology maintains signal integrity across its entire length, drawing power directly from the connected device, thus eliminating the need for an external power supply. Its slim and flexible design facilitates installation around corners and through confined spaces, simplifying cable management in complex IT environments. Constructed with a plenum-rated jacket, this cable meets stringent fire safety standards (CMP), making it suitable for in-wall, ceiling, and duct installations in commercial buildings. This allows for clean, code-compliant cable routing, contributing to a safer and more organized infrastructure. The U428F-30M-D3 offers a robust and reliable solution for extended-range USB connectivity, ensuring seamless integration with various operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
