PHORCE (standalone version)
PRODUCT BRIEF
The PHORCE product family is designed to extend theSuperSpeed USB3.0 connections beyond the typical 3
meter reach of copper cables. The standalone version ofPHORCE consists of two individual modules. A PC module
directly connects to any USB3.0 port on a host such as aPC. A separate RE module (remote module) connects touser’s USB 3.0 devices such as a camera, external harddrive, control panel, or any other USB3.0 compatible
devices. By placing an optical fiber between the PC and REmodules, the PHORCE system can achieve a 300m link
distance with a choice of SM or MM fibers. By incorporating
swappable optical transceivers, PHORCE can be deployed
to any existing fiber networks without opening walls ordigging trenches.

KEY FEATURES
 Provide 5Gb/s transmission bandwidth Supports any USB3.0 device connection but not
backward compatible with USB2.0
 Compatible with MM, SM fibers and CWDM
technologies
 Available for one fiber solution (LC simplex) Plug and Play, no drivers required LED indicators for system status
 Low power consumption ~2W while operating Provide USB bus power for USB devices
 Secure power connector with locking mechanism
 Secure USB connectors with thumbscrew lockingmechanism
 Secure installation with mounting wings
 Provide optical isolation
 Compact size
