REVIEW – I am in the final stages of building and arranging my new office and studio in my home. One of my intentions is to connect a webcam to the USB-C port on my OSEE GoStream Switcher, used for streaming, podcast recordings, and all other in-studio Audio/Video recordings. My challenge is that the distance between the Switcher and the USB-C webcam is approximately 35 feet. I need a USB-C cable that is long enough and can maintain signal integrity. Enter the YSerendept Fiber Optic USB-C Cable.

The YSerendept Fiber Optic USB C Cable features a thin and lightweight design, measuring just 0.16 inches in diameter. It also features 24K gold-plated connectors that the manufacturer states are corrosion-resistant, as well as the specs that the cable is housed within tough, rust-resistant zinc shells that enhance durability and longevity. The cable being tested in this review is 15 meters.
Performance
The YSerendept Fiber Optic USB C Cable performs well and maintains high-speed data transfer over long distances. Its fiber optic technology supports data rates up to 10Gbps, and transmitting 4K video works without any issues, and as far as I can tell, without any degradation of the signal/resolution.
As the length of cables increases, the challenges of maintaining the signal are greater. The YSerendept maintains full bandwidth and zero signal loss even at lengths up to 50 feet.
The cable is well constructed and features 24K gold-plated connectors. It is thin, flexible, and lightweight but still sturdy. I do not feel that I must be extra careful when handling it and running it along its path between the host and the device. The cable ends are specific in terms of which end must be connected to the host and the device. This label is visibly indicated at the ends of the cable. Currently, I have been evaluating it with my webcam and laptop, and it has performed flawlessly. In addition, it has been a simple plug-and-play experience with the Windows OS that I use.
Final thoughts
The YSerendept Fiber Optic USB-C Cable is well-constructed, relatively thin and flexible, and easy to work with. So far, it has worked well, and I have not experienced any signal degradation.
What I like about the YSerendept Fiber Optic USB-C Cable
- It is well-made and flexible
