Designed to extend USB 3.0 connections beyond the current 3 metre cable
length, Phrontier Technologies offer their PHORCE USB 3.0 fibre extender
cable series. The extenders are available in two versions with four models
in each - USB 3.0 Optical Fibre Extender, which requires a PCIe card installed
the PC, and the Standalone
USN 3.1 Gen 1, which does not.
The PHORCE USB 3.1/3.0 enables Superspeed USB 3.0 connections beyond the
current capacity of copper cables and consists of two modules: a PHORCE
PC card which is intalled into the PCIe slots of the host PC and a PHORCE
box located at a remote site of the application. The transparent operation
of these modules enable the connected remote USB devices to appear local
on the host PC.
The PHORCE remote box provides two USB3.0 root hub ports that comply with
USB3.0 specs and are backwards compatible with USB2.0 devices and platforms.
Convenient features include Plug-and-play capacity, low-power consumption
and a compact, robust design and the ability for the product to be deployed
into existing fibre network without opening walls or laying in trenches
