The Light-Link is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.0) Fiber Optic Cable. Because it uses fiber, it can send the signal instantly with no perceptible latency at much longer distances than regular USB extenders.

Note: This cable is compatible with devices that are USB 2.0 as well as USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Formerly USB 3.0), but it has to be plugged into a USB 3.1 Gen 1/USB 3.0 port in order to function! The supplemental power cable will be needed for USB devices that aren't low power.

How it works

The converters inside the cable heads convert incoming electrical signal into optical on one end, and back into electrical on the other end. The Light-Link is composed of two fiber cables and two copper cables. The copper cables are used for non-data information such as +5v power for USB devices. The fiber strands carry all the data information.

The light travels down the fibers using internal reflection, which allows the light to bounce off the cable walls similar to a bobsled. Light travels extremely fast (186,000 miles a second) so the signal arrives almost instantly without losing any quality.

Eliminates possible points of failure

In a typical long distance USB extension setup, you have many potential points of failure (source to sender, receiver to device, an RJ45 cable in between, and two power adapters for the baluns). The Light-Link extends the signal with zero latency and without having to worry about baluns or power adapters.

Optional Extra power

The Light-Link USB features a micro USB-B port to provide Auxiliary power for devices that require a little more power than usual. (Not required for most devices)

Wonderful product

I used this product to provide 5 volts to power LED lighting for two pictures. Once it was painted it essentially disappeared. You really have to study it to see it. Before I just had an ugly wire to power the LED that I painted, but this is far and away better. And when I paint the whole wall, I'll be sure to feather the wire edges so it truly be invisible.

Splitter replacement

An old splitter died due to a broken cable, this was a direct replacement, three tv’s back up and working as they should. I would buy again and highly recommend.

Excellent Speaker Cable

I needed a longer than usual quality cable. The Silverback cable was perfect for me. Well constructed, heavy duty cable that should stand up for years to come. Excellent sound quality.

Banana plugs

Came rather quickly great packaging. Brilliant service
