The 10 meter USB3 cable converts the USB3 data signal into an optical signal. The optical signal is then transmitted over 10 meters of optical fiber cable and after that it is converted back to an electrical USB3 signal. The power is transmitted using copper wire. The 10 meter USB3 cable uses a maximum of 0.94W from the USB3 port to convert the electric signals into optical signals and back. Because the USB3 signals are transmitted using optical fiber cable, no EMI problems can occur. The cable is a 10 meter highflex cable and can therefore be used in robots and moving machines. This cable is also an ideal solution for high speed imaging with up to 10 meter of cable length. The connectors are USB-A male (to connect to PC) to Micro-B male (to connect to an industrial camera).

Flexible design of the 10 meter USB3 cable

One of its key features of the 10 meter USB3 cable is the ability to adapt to dynamic environments. To ensure stable connection between pc and camera, we always advise you to use one of our USB3 cables. It is designed to withstand the strains of continuous movement, which makes it a great solution for robotics and applications involving movement in the machine. It’s robust design ensures a steady, long term performance of the 10 meter USB3 cable in many challenging environments. Beyond its adaptability and long-distance capabilities, the USB3 highflex cable is specifically designed for high-speed imaging applications.

Quality control of the 10 meter USB3 cable

The production quality control process of the 10 meter USB3 cable is built on several crucial steps. All cables are tested and approved by Daheng Imaging. To guarantee the quality of the long cables, the process starts in the raw material stage and continues until the cables are being shipped. If at any time throughout this process the 10 meter USB3 cable doesn’t comply to the given quality standards, it will then be classified as abnormal and rejected. Action will be taken to guarantee the quality of the batch and the procedure. Due to the nature of the quality control, we can offer a 1-year warranty that applies to all long USB3 cables.

Which USB3 machine vision camera should I use?

The 10 meter USB3 cable can be used in combination with a variety of USB3 machine vision cameras. We advise you to choose one of our USB3 cameras of the MER2 series. For applications where high speed imaging is most important, our 1.6 MP global shutter USB3 camera with 227 fps could offer a great solution. Our portfolio of USB3 cameras can be found in our USB3 vision camera product portfolio via this link.

Would you like to protect your USB3 machine vision camera against water, dust or dirt? We recommend you to use our waterproof aluminium camera housing. However, please be aware that this housing cannot be used in combination with the highflex cables, such as this 10 meter USB3 cable. We recommend you to use one of our standard USB3 cables. Take a look at all USB3 cables in our portfolio of industrial camera cables.

Specific applications for the 10 meter USB3 cable

The 10 meter USB3 cable is an extra-long cable and equipped with a USB-A male connector on one end for a secure and standardized connection to the pc. On the other end, it features a Micro-B male connector that can integrate with a variety of machine vision cameras. This makes the 10 meter USB3 cable a versatile solution for diverse applications in industrial and imaging settings such as:

Conveyor belt inspection: The 10 meter USB3 cable can offer a great solution to connect a machine vision camera to a control system located a few meters away from the conveyor belt. This allows the camera to capture images of the products as they are being relocated, inspected or manufactured.
Robot vision: When using a USB3 machine vision camera with a robotic arm, the arm regularly faces many movements. The 10 meter USB3 cable allows the USB3 camera to guide the arm as it performs tasks such as Pick & Place of objects.
Process monitoring: When the USB3 camera and vision application are not located in the same room, this long 10 meter USB3 cable could be beneficial. No extra extension cables and switches are necessary.

To improve the flexibility, durability and convenience for your long distance or regularly moving machine vision application, the 10 meter USB3 cable offers a great solution.
