Introduction
Thank you for choosing the active USB3 3.1 AOC cable. With this cable, you can transmit USB signals without external Power Delivery over distances up to 15 m. The cable is a hybrid cable that contains both optical fibers and copper conductors.
It supports a maximum data rate of 10 Gbit/s per channel, is lightweight, flexible, and has a very small bending radius of only 20 mm.
Intended Use
Use is only permitted indoors, not outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g., in bathrooms or similar locations, must be strictly avoided.
For safety and approval reasons (CE), you must not modify and/or alter the product. Using the product for purposes other than those described above can damage the product. Additionally, improper use can cause hazards such as short circuits, fire, electric shock, etc.
Please read the user manual carefully and keep it. Pass the product on to third parties only together with the user manual.
Safety Instructions
Please read the user manual carefully and pay special attention to the safety instructions. If you do not follow the safety instructions and the guidelines for proper handling in this user manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal or property damage. In such cases, any warranty/guarantee will also become void.
This product is not a toy. Keep it away from children and pets. Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, as it could become a dangerous toy for children. Risk of suffocation!
- The maximum tensile load of the cable is 157N (16kg). Never pull the cable with a higher load.
- The minimum bending radius of the hybrid cable is approx. 20 mm. Bending the cable to a smaller radius causes irreversible damage.
- Beware of trip hazards; ensure the cable is securely installed.
- Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong vibrations, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapors, and solvents.
- Do not subject the product to mechanical stress.
- If safe operation is no longer possible, take the product out of service and protect it from unintended use.
- shows visible damage
- no longer functions properly
- has been stored under unfavorable environmental conditions for an extended period, or
- has been subjected to significant transport stress.
Handle the product carefully. Impacts, shocks, or even falls from a short height can damage the product.
Also observe the safety instructions and operating manuals of other devices connected to the product.
Consult a professional if you have doubts about operation, safety, or connection of the product.

Operation and Connection Diagram
Note: The FX-I645 series is designed for use with a +5V passive Power Delivery supplied by the source device. This +5V line, as well as the power supply for the integrated fiber optic module, is transmitted to the Receiver via a pure standard copper connection. Please ensure that the source device can supply more than 500 mA.
This cable can only be used in one direction. The connectors are labeled “HOST” and “DEVICE.” Each plug must be connected to the correct device to avoid signal loss.
Before using this cable, ensure all devices connected with the AOC-USB cable are turned off and not powered.
Connect the “HOST” side of the USB plug to the Transmitter and the “DEVICE” side of the other USB plug to the Receiver / display. This operates without additional Power Delivery.
We advise against using additional cables or adapters between the connectors, as this may degrade signal transmission performance. Power on the Transmitter/source device and the Receiver/display.
Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the product; therefore, never open/disassemble it. Have maintenance, adjustments, and repairs carried out exclusively by a qualified technician or specialized workshop. If you have any questions not answered in this manual, please contact our technical support or a qualified expert.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, disconnect the product from connected devices. Do not use scouring agents, solvents, aggressive cleaners, cleaning alcohol, or other chemical solutions, as these can damage the housing or impair functionality. A dry, soft, and clean cloth is sufficient for cleaning. Do not press hard on the housing to avoid scratches. Dust can be easily removed with a long-haired, soft, and clean brush.
Warranty and Liability
