The newest launch from Valens Semiconductor is an industrial-grade USB3 extender. According to the company, this new announcement represents an important turning point in the company’s industrial sector expansion. With the help of this innovative device, system designers and integrators can now extend industrial-grade USB3 cameras up to 100 meters—far beyond the current five-meter limit—over a single Category 6a cable, opening up new possibilities.
Based on the Valens’ VS6320 chip, the industrial-grade USB3 extender supports:
- Transmission of high-speed USB3.2 Gen1 traffic,
- Alongside USB2.0,
- Control signals,
- 25W of power.
Valens Semiconductor USB3 extender eliminates the need for several cables by combining data, controls, and power over a single line, greatly lowering installation costs and simplifying system architecture.
The durable, fanless design and versatile mounting choices of Valens’ solution, which is intended for industrial settings, guarantee dependability and simplicity of integration. Due to its diagnostic capabilities, the USB3 extender may operate in important applications around-the-clock by continuously evaluating the quality of the link.
On October 8-10, 2024, at VISION in Stuttgart, the USB3 and Power Industrial Extender will be publicly unveiled alongside other developments based on the VS6320 and VA7000 platforms at the Valens exhibit (10F80).
