Corning recently launched a USB 3.0 optical fiber transmission cable, called USB 3.Optical, which can transmit at a maximum transmission speed of 5Gbps The data reaches 30 meters. At the same time, the transmission line itself is thinner than the traditional copper wire USB line (officially, it is 50% thinner), and the weight is also lighter (about 20%). In addition, it is also better able to withstand bending and squeezing. , winding, can be said to be quite durable.

If the peripherals such as printers, backup hard drives, digital cameras, etc. at home or at work are a bit far from the main work area, you may consider Corning’s USB 3.Optical; and Corning In addition to USB 3.0 cables, we are also actively developing peripheral products such as USB and Thunderbolt. In the future, with the upgrade of various transmission connection specifications, we will launch products with transmission speeds exceeding 10Gbps. In addition to general consumer products, we will also The tentacles extend to other commercial, medical, industrial and other applications.

As for the USB 3. Optical, the price starts from US$109.99 (approximately NT$3,200) for ten meters, and there are also different male and female combinations for consumers to choose from.
