Updates and news ๐Ÿ’กCan I use a regular USB extension with ORBBEC?

We strongly advise not using a regular USB extension cable, as it may cause unstable connections, recognition issues, or data errors, and could damage your ORBBEC camera. If damage occurs due to a non-recommended cable, it will be considered customer-induced.


Instead, please use a USB extension cable with:

  • An external power supply (power adapter included)

  • Built-in safety circuits (surge protection, back-voltage protection)

Recommended search terms:

  • "USB extension cable with power adapter"

  • "Surge protection"

  • "Back-voltage protection"


If you've already used a regular USB extension cable and the camera still doesn't work properlyโ€”even when connected directlyโ€”the camera may be damaged and require replacement. Pleaseย contact us,ย and we'll assist you with the replacement process.
