PeopleLink USB 3.0 AM-BMUSB 3.0 AM to BM Active Optical Cable for Video Conferencing Systems and Type-B Devices

It is an Active Optical USB 3.0 Cable with AM to BM connectors, offering data transfer up to 5Gbps over lengths up to 100m. The BM end plugs into a device with a USB Type-B socket, so it replaces the device lead rather than extending it. It is built for professional AV and industrial runs where a passive copper cable would not reach.

It supports High Definition Video Conference Systems, Industry and Machine Vision Cameras, Industry Printing Systems, High Definition Video Surveillance, Digital Signage and TV Walls, and Remote Storage. The common factor is a USB Type-B socket on the device and a host that is too far away for an ordinary cable. That range lets one part number cover AV rooms, a production line and a security office on the same site.

It supports lengths up to 100m through an Active Optical Link, well beyond what passive copper USB cables carry. The 5Gbps transfer speed is held across the run, so a camera or conference system sees the same bandwidth at 100m as at close range. Measure the actual route through walls, risers and ceiling voids when choosing a length.

Choose the AM-BM where the device end has a USB Type-B port, such as a Video Conference System, an industry or machine vision camera, or a printing system, and the AM-AF where you are extending a device's own USB cable. Both run at up to 5Gbps over lengths up to 100m through an active optical link. Share your equipment list and cable route with a PeopleLink specialist to confirm the right cable and length.

Installation, service and support are delivered through PeopleLink Partners and Resellers in your region, with PeopleLink AV Specialists supporting them on sizing and integration. A partner can route and terminate the run during first fit, before the room system or camera is mounted.

List each run by its device, its host location and the real cable path, then order a single length per run instead of joining shorter cables. Because the Active Optical Link holds 5Gbps out to 100m, the same specification works for a Video Conference Room, a Machine Vision line and a surveillance feed. Standardising on one cable type keeps spares and future moves simple across a multi-building site.
