Newnex and Pleora Technologies announce USB 3.0 product interoperability

Newnex Technology Corp. and Pleora Technologies have completed successful product interoperability testing for Newnex’s USB 3.0 connectivity solutions and Pleora’s USB3 Vision-compliant video interface technology platform.

The products from Newnex used for testing include FireNEX-uLINK USB 3.0 active repeater cables, FireNEX-500 USB 3.0 optical repeaters, and the FireNEX-uHUB USB 3.0 industrial hub. Newnex’s most recently launched product, the FireNEX-5000S, is capable of transferring USB 3.0 signals up to 300 meters and can be used as a standalone USB 3.0 industrial hub with locking screws. The repeater features two USB 3.0 A ports (upstream unit), one USB A port and one USB B port (downstream unit), all of which are USB3 Vision compliant, and a standard optical port.

Paired with the Newnex USB 3.0 solutions in the testing process was Pleora’s iPORT NTx-U3 embedded video interface. The USB3 Vision-compliant iPORT NTx-U3 interface converts video data to packets at throughputs up to 3 Gb/s, and packetized video is then sent with low latency over a USB 3.0 link to receiving software. The interface also features line scan and area scan modes and a 128 MB frame buffer to accommodate larger image sensors.

Testing was conducted over a 24-hour period under various configuration set-ups supporting a transfer rate of 325 fps and image resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. During the testing, no errors were observed.
