AVer Optical USB Extension Cable (20m) – 65.6 ft Fiber Optic USB 3.1

Product Overview

The AVer PTOCU320M Optical USB Extension Cable delivers a reliable 20-meter (65.6 ft) fiber optic connection for AVer USB 3.1 conference cameras, eliminating signal degradation over long cable runs. Built on active fiber optic technology, this cable maintains USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps across the full 20-meter span — no signal boosters or repeaters required. It installs without drivers and ships with an auxiliary Micro-B USB power cable to ensure consistent camera performance. The PTOCU320M is the correct accessory for AV integrators and IT teams that need dependable long-reach USB connectivity in permanent conference room installations.

Product Description

Long USB cable runs in fixed AV installations are a persistent challenge: copper cables suffer signal loss and latency beyond a few meters, requiring cumbersome repeaters or active extenders. The AVer PTOCU320M solves this with fiber optic transmission that maintains full USB 3.1 Gen 1 throughput at 5 Gbps over 20 meters of cable — more than four times the reliable reach of standard passive copper cables.

Terminating in a USB-A Male connector at the host end and a USB-A Female connector at the camera end, the cable integrates directly into standard USB-A ports on conference room computers, docking stations, and presentation systems without adapters. The slim, flexible fiber optic construction is significantly easier to route through wall conduit, cable trays, and plenum spaces compared to thicker copper alternatives, reducing installation time on complex AV projects.

Because fiber optic transmission is immune to electromagnetic interference, the PTOCU320M is suited for deployments near power infrastructure, LED lighting arrays, and other EMI-generating equipment common in commercial environments. An included USB 2.0 Micro-B auxiliary power cable (drawing less than 2W) ensures the connected AVer camera receives adequate power across the extended run. The cable is color-matched in black and ships with a USB-A 3.1 patch cable for connection flexibility. Note: this cable is designed for AVer cameras that operate with a USB 3.1 interface — verify camera compatibility before ordering.

The PTOCU320M is part of AVer's line of Pro AV accessories and is available at Creation Networks alongside compatible AVer conference cameras and mounting hardware.
