InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 active extension, USB-C male to USB-A female, 15m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 active extension cable (USB-C male to USB-A female, 15 m) moves USB ports from hard-to-reach places to a convenient location while preserving high-speed data transfer. Integrated electronics enable reliable signal transmission over long distances up to 15 meters and support data rates up to 5 Gb/s. The cable is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen.1 devices and supports Windows 7, macOS 10 and newer. For extensions of 10 meters and longer, the included external power supply is recommended.

Advantages

The active design with integrated electronics maintains signal quality and prevents data loss or interference even at the full 15 m length. The cable supports hot-swap Plug and Play operation and provides a universal connection from USB-C host ports to USB-A devices. A compact external plug-in power supply is included to ensure stable operation for longer runs. The product is finished in black plastic housing and is compatible with a wide range of USB peripherals including hard drives, printers, webcams, headsets, mice and keyboards.

Suitable for

• Extending USB connections for external hard drives or SSDs
• Connecting printers, scanners or multifunction devices located away from the PC
• Positioning webcams or headsets at a distance from the computer
• Using mice, keyboards or other USB-A peripherals where direct access to the host port is inconvenient
