Description

The CLS-AOCU32/FF-50 is an active USB-C AOC hybrid cable designed to deliver reliable high-bandwidth connections over a 50ft span. It carries DisplayPort Alt Mode video, USB 3.2 Gen 2 data, USB 2.0 signals, PD power and Ethernet in a single cable. The cable integrates a reversible USB Type-C connector with K-Lock for secure insertion and consistent contact.

Key features include support for 4K@60 4:4:4 video, up to 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 throughput, and 60W power delivery at 20V 3A. The cable uses active optical components to maintain signal integrity across long runs and supports dynamic 2/4 lane configuration based on device negotiation. It also provides 1Gbps Ethernet support alongside USB and video lanes.

Technically, the cable meets USB 3.2 Gen 2 SuperSpeed+ specifications and supports USB 2.0 in parallel. Conductor resistance specifications, voltage and temperature ratings are published to ensure predictable electrical performance. The AOC hybrid design yields low insertion loss for video and maintains up to 10Gbps data rates when both host and device support USB 3.2 Gen 2.

Connectivity is delivered through USB Type-C male to USB Type-C male connectors that are nickel plated with gold pins and K-Lock mechanism. The cable is backward compatible with USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 devices and is compatible with PC, Mac and mobile platforms. The reversible connector eliminates orientation concerns and simplifies installation in constrained spaces.

Practical applications include connecting laptops to 4K displays, docking stations, USB peripherals, webcams and networked devices across meeting rooms or production areas. The 50ft AOC option is suitable when longer cable runs are required without signal extenders. The cable supports common AV and IT workflows by consolidating video, data, power and Ethernet into one durable link.

Installation is plug and play with no driver requirements for video or USB 2.0 devices under standard host configurations. The jacket uses PVC LSHF material and a 5.8mm diameter that balances flexibility and protection for routed runs. Kramer engineering emphasizes consistent electrical ratings, environmental limits and compliance to CE and FCC standards for professional deployments.
