DELOCK active optical USB Type-C to Type-C cable 10 Gbps, angled plugs, 5 m

The DELOCK active optical USB Type-C to Type-C cable 10 Gbps, angled plugs, 5 m is a USB-C data cable designed for stable high-speed connections over extended distances. Its active optical transmission converts electrical signals to optical ones inside the cable to maintain 10 Gbps data throughput across a 5 meter length, while angled Type-C plugs reduce connector stress and improve accessibility in tight spaces. The cable is intended for use with laptops, external storage, docking stations and other USB-C peripherals that require reliable USB 3.1 Gen 2 class speeds.

Advantages

The cable’s active optical design enables consistent 10 Gbps performance at 5 m without the signal degradation typical of long passive copper cables. Angled USB Type-C plugs provide easier connection in confined setups and help prevent bending near the connector. The USB-C to USB-C configuration supports reversible plug orientation and simplifies connection to modern devices. The combination of optical transmission and robust connector design aims to deliver stable data transfer for high-bandwidth peripherals.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops to docking stations or hubs where a long 5 m run is needed
• Linking external SSDs or RAID arrays for fast data transfer at up to 10 Gbps
• Attaching USB-C peripherals (audio interfaces, capture devices) that benefit from consistent high-speed links
• Workstations or home offices that require neat cable routing with angled connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-C to USB Type-C with angled plugs
• Length: 5 metres
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (AOC)
• Directionality: supports full USB-C reversible connection with active signal conversion

How to use

Plug one angled USB-C connector into the host device (laptop, docking station or hub) and the other into the USB-C peripheral or storage device. Ensure both devices support the required USB data mode for 10 Gbps transfer; some hosts or devices may negotiate lower speeds depending on their capabilities. The cable requires no external power source for data transmission; standard device power delivery behavior applies as determined by connected hardware.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends near the connectors and route the cable to minimize sharp kinks. Verify device compatibility for USB 3.1 Gen 2 or equivalent 10 Gbps modes to achieve full throughput. Use the angled plugs to reduce strain in confined ports and check that connected devices support the expected power and data profiles.
