USB-based devices are notoriously hard to extend. The USB specification limits maximum cable lengths to 3 meters (about 9 feet 10 inches), which leaves many applications searching for an extension solution. SuperSpeed (USB 3.0) cameras in particular often are left short in collaborative spaces, especially considering huddle rooms, meeting rooms, classrooms and lecture spaces are increasingly integrating cameras for recording and remote conferencing. TechLogix tackled the issue with the TL-FO-USB3-01, which transmits SuperSpeed USB signals up to 100 meters (330 feet) using duplex fiber optic cabling. The TL-FO-USB3-01 features a built-in two port hub and supplies 900mA power to connected devices.
