Re: [time-nuts] USB over optical fiber Its not so much the noise from the interface its the USB device itself i’d worry about as USB 3.0 generates RF signals up to 3 GHz. And also has fairly strong signals in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Content by Scott Typos by Siri > On Dec 4, 2019, at 12:07 A

[time-nuts] USB over optical fiber

2019-12-03 Thread David Van Horn via time-nuts
I suppose this is vaguely time-nutty.  I have an application where I need to take USB into an EMC faraday cage. I see a number of optical fiber implementations available, and the prices ($200-300) are acceptable, but I’m worried about noise that the downstream end may cause, since it will need
