Overview
Angekis USB3.1 Type A-C Active Optical Cable links a USB Type A port and a USB Type C port over optical fibre, in 10 m and 15 m lengths. It suits meeting rooms, lecture halls and boardrooms in Qatar where a computer, camera or conferencing unit sits well away from its display. The product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty and is sold by quotation. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar and confirm the connector pairing and length before ordering.
What this Angekis USB3.1 cable does
The Angekis USB3.1 Type A-C Active Optical Cable carries a USB 3.1 connection between a USB Type A port and a USB Type C port over optical fibre. It is offered in 10 m and 15 m lengths, which makes it a practical choice when the computer, camera or conferencing unit sits well away from the display or room system it feeds. Unlike a short desk cable, its job is to span room-scale distances in a tidy run.
Facts to confirm before you order
The manufacturer's data for this model confirms the USB 3.1 designation, the Type A and Type C connector pairing and the two length options. It does not provide a transfer rate, power requirement, operating temperature range or warranty duration, so this page does not state them. SmartRooms Qatar can share the full datasheet with your quotation, and that document is the reference to approve before purchase.
Where it fits in Qatar
Three situations in Qatar show where this cable earns its place:
- A corporate boardroom in West Bay, where the presentation laptop sits at the far end of a long table and the signal must reach a wall-mounted display without an exposed run across the floor.
- A lecture hall in Education City, where the lecturer's computer is at the back of the room and the screen sits at the front, with the route passing through trunking.
- A conference room in Lusail, where the camera or conferencing unit is inside the room but the source computer is in an adjacent office.
Planning the cable route
Measure the path the cable will actually follow, not the straight-line distance between the two devices. Include vertical drops, cable trays, floor boxes and the slack needed at each end, then choose 10 m or 15 m based on that total. Keep the cable clear of mains wiring where the route allows, and avoid sharp bends near the connectors. Where the cable runs near a window, in a hot riser or in a plant room, describe the location to the SmartRooms Qatar team, because the data does not give an operating temperature range and the environment should be confirmed before installation.
Ordering for a school, ministry or company in Qatar
SmartRooms Qatar supplies this cable to all 8 municipalities of Qatar and can offer a free site survey before you commit to a length. Organisations that buy through procurement can order under a purchase order or LPO, and government tenders, including Monaqasat, are supported. Payment is by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and lead times are estimates confirmed on the quote according to stock.
To receive a quotation, send your device list with the connector type on each end, the measured route in metres and the quantity needed, and request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.

1 file from the manufacturerQuestions about USB3.1 Type A-C Active Optical Cable
What is the Angekis USB3.1 Type A-C Active Optical Cable used for?
It carries a USB 3.1 connection between a device with a USB Type A port and a device with a USB Type C port, using an optical cable. It suits AV setups where a computer, camera or conferencing unit sits some distance from the display it feeds. Because the model is supplied in 10 m and 15 m lengths, it is intended for routes of that scale rather than short desk connections. Request a quote to confirm it matches your device pairing.
Which lengths does the cable come in?
The manufacturer's data lists two lengths for this model: 10 m and 15 m. To choose, measure the route from the source device to the display along the path the cable will actually take, including vertical runs and trays, and add allowance at both ends. A 10 m cable suits a single room with a short run, while a 15 m cable is the safer choice for a long boardroom table or a route through a corridor. Tell SmartRooms Qatar your measurement when you request a quote.
Which connectors are on each end?
One end is a USB Type A connector and the other end is a USB Type C connector, as the model name indicates. Before ordering, check which port your computer, camera or conferencing codec uses on each side, because the cable only connects a Type A port to a Type C port. If both of your devices use Type C, or both use Type A, this model is not the right pairing. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to check the pairing before you order.
Is this a USB 3.1 cable?
Yes, the model is listed as a USB3.1 cable, and USB 3.1 is the USB generation this product is built around. The data available for this page does not include a transfer rate, power figure or cable-specific test result. If your application depends on a particular bandwidth, ask SmartRooms Qatar for the manufacturer's datasheet before you approve a purchase.
What is the advantage of an active optical cable over a standard copper cable?
Copper USB cables lose part of the signal as the distance grows. An active optical cable converts the electrical signal into light, carries it along an optical fibre and converts it back at the other end, which is why this design is commonly chosen for runs of several metres inside buildings. The fibre is also thin and flexible, which helps it pass through trunking. Check the maximum distance in the datasheet, as this page does not state it.
Can it connect a laptop at the far end of a West Bay boardroom table to a wall display?
A 15 m cable is the length to consider for that layout, provided the route from the laptop position to the display wall is within the 15 m you measure. Lay the path out with the room's AV contractor or with the SmartRooms Qatar team during a free site survey, and record the points where the cable will leave the table, pass the floor box and rise to the screen. Then confirm the port types on the laptop and the display before ordering.
Is it suitable for a lecture hall at Education City?
It can serve a lecture hall where the lecturer's computer sits at the back or side of the room and the display is at the front, provided the route falls within 10 m or 15 m. Lecture halls usually need cables managed in fixed trunking, so plan the route before drilling or fixing trunking. Ask for a quote with the room dimensions and the exact device list so the length and connector types are confirmed for that room.
Does the cable need its own power supply?
The source data for this model does not state a power requirement, so this page does not claim one. Some active optical cables draw power from the connected device, but the exact arrangement for this model should be confirmed before you order. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to check the datasheet against the USB port on your computer or camera, particularly if that port is low-power or if you plan to connect a hub.
Can it be installed near a window or in a hot plant room?
The data for this product does not give an operating temperature range, so its suitability for hot or dusty locations cannot be confirmed here. In Qatar, summer temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius and dust storms can affect equipment near windows, in unventilated risers or in plant rooms. Describe the exact installation point when you request a quote, and the SmartRooms Qatar team will confirm the environment before installation.
What warranty applies to the cable?
The product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. The source data available for this page does not give the warranty length or its terms, so this page does not state them. Ask SmartRooms Qatar for the warranty details in writing with your quotation, and keep the purchase documents with your asset register so any claim can be matched to the product and invoice.
Can a school in Al Wakrah order several cables under one purchase order?
Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs), so a school fitting out several classrooms can order the cables under one LPO. List each cable by length, 10 m or 15 m, the number of rooms it serves and the devices in each room. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Request a quote with the quantities and the delivery address in Al Wakrah.
Can government bodies buy this cable through tenders?
Yes. SmartRooms Qatar handles government tenders, including those listed on Monaqasat, and public bodies can order through a purchase order. For a ministry or authority, ask for a quotation that shows the model name, each length, the quantity and the unit and total amounts, so it can be attached to the tender file. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and lead times are confirmed on the quote based on stock.
