Tripp Lite USB 3.2 Gen 1 CL3-Rated Fiber Active Optical Cable (AOC), Extension/Repeater, A M/F, Black, 20 m (65 ft.)

The Tripp Lite U330F-20M-G1 is a USB 3.2 Gen 1 active optical cable built for users who need reliable USB connectivity at distances well beyond the reach of ordinary copper cables. By converting electrical USB signals to light and back, it preserves full USB bandwidth over a 20 meter (65 foot) run and keeps data moving at speeds up to 5 Gbps.

This optical architecture removes the heavy shielding normally required for long USB lines. The result is a cable that has a slim profile and enough flexibility to pull through conduit, around corners, or behind walls. A CL3 rated PVC jacket allows permanent in-wall installation in homes, classrooms, offices, and commercial spaces where code compliance is essential.

Each end of the cable uses gold plated contacts to maintain clean signal paths, and a USB Micro-B power port is available if a connected hub, camera, or storage device needs extra power for peak operation. No drivers or software are required. Plug the Type-A male connector into the host computer, attach your peripheral to the built-in Type-A female end, and the link comes alive on Windows, macOS, or Linux systems.

Because it eliminates signal drop-off over long runs, the cable is a smart pick for mounting high-resolution webcams in conference rooms, placing external drives in secure racks, extending USB control to digital signage players, or linking desktop peripherals in spacious classrooms and production studios. Anywhere you need a dependable USB path across the room or down the hall, this solution keeps the workflow intact.

For added peace of mind, Tripp Lite backs the cable with a three-year limited warranty.
