Can I use the ZED camera with a USB 3 extension cable?

Yes, you can find the official Stereolabs extender cables in the web store.

If you are searching for longer-range solutions, you can use the ZED cameras with third-party USB 3.0 extension cables or optical fiber cables to extend the camera operating range up to 200m.

We recommend considering the following solutions for long ranges: 

USB Extender   ZED ZED Mini ZED 2 ZED 2i

Icron Spectra™ 3001 15m Active Copper Extension Cable

Icron Spectra™ 3022 Multimode Fiber 100m Extender

Icron Raven 3124 Multimode Fiber 200m Extender

 

 

Note (1): ZED Mini, ZED 2, and ZED 2i utilize both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 to transmit video and motion sensor data. Extension cables, which only have USB 3.0 internal wiring or use optics fiber, only support image transmission. As a result, sensor data from the IMU or barometer will not be accessible.

While other USB 3.0 extenders may also be compatible, the recommendations above are specifically for models that have reliably passed all our tests.

Please note that the solutions mentioned above are intended for single-camera connection extensions and should not be considered full USB extensions. Extenders should not be used with USB 3.0 hubs.
