Overview
The Angekis USB3.0 A male to B male Active Optical Cable links a USB 3.0 Type-A connector to a Type-B connector across a longer run than a standard copper cable. It is offered in 10 m and 15 m lengths. It suits rooms in Qatar where a camera or conference peripheral sits far from the host PC. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the right length.
What this active optical cable is for
The Angekis USB3.0 A male to B male Active Optical Cable is a USB 3.0 cable with a Type-A connector at one end and a Type-B connector at the other. Its active optical construction lets it carry a USB 3.0 connection over a longer distance than a conventional copper cable is practical for, which is the main reason to choose it over a standard lead. It is a cable rather than a device, so it works with the camera, conference peripheral or other USB 3.0 hardware you already have.
Lengths available: 10 m and 15 m
The cable is offered in two lengths, 10 m and 15 m. Choosing between them depends on the physical route between the host computer and the device. Measure that route through cable trays, ceiling voids and wall ducts, then allow for slack and for the bends the cable will need.
- Available in 10 m and 15 m lengths
- USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B connection
- Active optical design for longer runs
- Supplied on quotation, with delivery across Qatar
Where it fits across Qatar
Three situations come up often for this type of cable:
- A boardroom in a Doha office tower where the conference camera is mounted on a far wall and the host PC sits in a credenza at the other end of the room.
- A lecture theatre at a university in Education City or an international school in Lusail, where a presenter's USB camera sits at the back of the room, well away from the lectern.
- A control or monitoring room in the Industrial Area or at an energy site in Mesaieed, where equipment is fixed a long way from the computer it feeds.
Planning the run before you order
Confirm that the USB 3.0 device at the far end and the host computer are both ready for this connection, and that the driver and software on the host support the device. Note the route length, the number of bends and where the cable will be fixed. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, which is useful when a cable passes through a ceiling void, a shared riser or a public corridor in a government building, hospital or school, where routing may need approval.
If the cable will sit in a hot or dusty location such as a window-facing area, a lobby or an outdoor enclosure, note that the source data for this model does not give an operating temperature range. Confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.
For schools, ministries or companies ordering several cables for multiple rooms, a purchase order (LPO) can cover the order, and payment is accepted by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Supply is delivered to all 8 municipalities of Qatar.

1 file from the manufacturerQuestions about USB3.0 A male to B male Active Optical Cable
What is the Angekis USB3.0 A male to B male Active Optical Cable used for?
It carries a USB 3.0 connection from a computer's Type-A port to a device with a Type-B port, over a longer run than a passive copper cable is practical for. Typical uses include placing a conference camera or other USB peripheral at a distance from the host PC in a meeting room, classroom or control room in Qatar. Request a quote to confirm it suits your setup.
Which lengths are available for this cable?
This model is offered in two lengths: 10 m and 15 m. Measure the route from the host computer to the device, including bends through cable trays and ducts, and choose the length that covers it with some slack. Confirm your choice with SmartRooms Qatar when you request a quote, because the length you need depends on where the equipment is installed.
Is this a standard USB cable or a different type?
It is a USB3.0 cable with a Type-A male connector at one end and a Type-B male connector at the other. The difference lies in its active optical construction, which carries the signal optically along the cable rather than relying on copper conductors alone. Check that both ends match your host and device ports before ordering.
Will it work with USB 2.0 devices?
This product is described as a USB3.0 cable, and the source data does not state compatibility with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices, so do not assume it. Before you order, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the specific device you plan to connect, along with the host computer it will use.
Which length suits a boardroom in West Bay?
In a boardroom where the host PC sits in a credenza and the conference camera is mounted on the far wall, measure the actual route first. A 10 m cable may cover a compact room with a short run, while a 15 m cable gives more allowance for a longer table layout or a cable path around furniture. Send the measurements with your quote request.
Can it connect a camera in a lecture theatre in Education City?
Yes, this is a common use. When a presenter's USB camera is mounted at the back of a lecture theatre, well away from the lectern, a longer cable keeps the connection to the computer at the front. Choose the length after measuring the full route, including any ceiling or wall ducts, and confirm compatibility with the camera and the lecture PC.
Is it suitable for hot or dusty locations in Qatar?
The source data for this model does not give an operating temperature range, so its suitability for high heat or dust is unconfirmed. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 °C, and windows, lobbies and outdoor enclosures are harder environments. Describe the exact location to the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation so they can advise on the right setup.
Do I need a site survey before installing this cable?
A site survey is useful when the cable runs through a ceiling void, a shared riser or a public corridor in a government building, hospital or school in Doha, Lusail or Al Rayyan. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, which lets the team check the route length, the number of bends and the fixing points before you commit to a length.
Can a school or ministry order several cables on one LPO?
Yes. A purchase order (LPO) can cover several cables for different rooms, and payment is accepted by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. List each room, device and route length in your request so the quotation matches the installation. Supply is delivered to all 8 municipalities of Qatar.
How long will delivery take?
SmartRooms Qatar does not give fixed delivery dates. Lead times are estimates based on stock and are confirmed in the quotation. Quotations are usually issued within one working day of your request, so include the length, the connected devices and the delivery location to speed up the process.
Does this cable need professional installation?
Professional installation is available from SmartRooms Qatar. A cable that runs across a meeting room or through a public area should be fixed neatly and routed to avoid sharp bends and trip hazards. An installer can plan the path, secure the cable and test the connection with the host and device before handover.
