Technical Architecture & Functionality
The FireNEX-CAT6 is a high-performance USB-C 3.2 extension system designed to deliver reliable 5Gbps data transfer and USB Power Delivery over long distances using standard CAT6a or CAT7 Ethernet cabling.
Capable of extending USB-C connections up to 90 meters (300 feet), the FireNEX-CAT6 transmits both high-speed data and power over a single CAT cable. With support for USB Power Delivery up to 27W and multiple PD profiles (5V, 9V, 12V, 20V), it is ideal for powering and connecting demanding USB-C devices well beyond the limits of conventional USB cables.
Designed for professional and industrial environments, the FireNEX-CAT6 features a rugged metal enclosure, USB-IF compliant locking USB-C ports, and bi-directional RS-232 serial pass-through, making it a reliable solution for machine vision, AV installations, industrial automation, and control systems.
