optoUSB 3.0, Fiber-optic Link for USB 3.0

The digital optical system optoUSB-3.0 can be used to optically transmit USB signals with a data rate of up to 5 Gbit/s correlating to the USB 3.0 standard. Because of the optical transmission, the system is very robust against EMS (electromagnetic susceptibility). It can withstand high electric and magnetic fields as they appear in EMC tests. The system also is optimized for low noise emission.

Please note that the USB-3.0 is NOT downwards compatible. I.e. there is no transmission with USB2.0 devices.

For the HUB side transceiver, power is supplied by internal NiMH batteries, which make the system easy to use.
The optoUSB-3.0 is prepared for the use of external batteries (with the optional battery pack BP84).
For the PC side transceiver, power is supplied via the USB cable connected to a PC.
