Kramer CP-AOCU32/AC-35 USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-A to USB-C Hybrid Fiber/Copper Cable 35ft 10Gbps Data Only

Description

The CP-AOCU32/AC-35 is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 hybrid cable that connects a USB-A host to a USB-C device using a combination of optical fiber and copper conductors. It delivers data transfer rates up to 10Gbps when paired with USB 3.2 compatible devices. This cable is intended for data transmission only and does not support charging or ALT Mode signaling.

Key features include USB 3.2 Gen 2 throughput, a 35ft length for extended reach, and a hybrid fiber/copper construction that preserves signal integrity over longer distances. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no additional drivers. It draws power from the USB host and it is recommended that remote devices be self-powered.

Technical details include a two-channel OM2 850 nm VCSEL array fiber core combined with bare copper conductors. The cable supports backward compatibility with USB 1.1 (up to 50ft), USB 2.0, and USB 3.0. Mechanical ratings include crush and tensile strength values and a minimum bending radius of 20mm to ensure reliable field installation.

Connectivity is straightforward with a USB 3.2 Type-A male connector on one end and a USB 3.2 Type-C male connector on the other. The cable consumes minimal power (<=0.5W) from the host source. It is compatible with common USB peripherals such as cameras, webcams, printers, and speakerphones when only data transfer is required.

Typical applications include AV system integrations where a stable 10Gbps data link is required across a 35ft run, conference room installations using USB cameras and speakerphones, and broadcast or production setups requiring long-reach USB data connections. Because the cable is data-only, it is best used with devices that either accept host-powered operation or provide their own power source.

Installation is simple due to the cable’s plug-and-play operation and durable jacket. The cable jacket is black with a 4.8mm diameter and is rated CPR Eca for flammability. Installers should observe the minimum bending radius and the crush/tensile ratings for long-term reliability.

Overall the CP-AOCU32/AC-35 provides a reliable, host-powered USB 3.2 Gen 2 link over hybrid fiber and copper for 35ft runs. It offers high data throughput, backward compatibility, and a rugged construction suited to professional AV and broadcast environments. Use this cable where high-speed data and extended reach are required without charging or alternate mode functionality.
