InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 active extension, USB-C male to USB-C female, 10m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 active extension cable (USB-C male to USB-C female, 10 m) moves USB ports from hard-to-reach locations to a convenient position while maintaining reliable high-speed data transmission. Integrated active electronics ensure signal integrity over the 10 metre length and support data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s. The cable is compatible with a wide range of USB devices and supports operating systems Windows 7 and newer, and macOS 10 and newer. A plug-in power supply is included for stable operation at this length.

Advantages

Active electronics inside the cable preserve signal quality across the 10 m span, allowing connection of external drives, printers, webcams, headsets, mice, keyboards and other USB devices without loss or interference. Supports USB 3.2 Gen.1 speeds up to 5 Gb/s and offers hot-plug, plug-and-play convenience. The cable uses USB-C male to USB-C female connectors and comes in a durable black plastic housing. For longer runs and reliable performance the included AC/DC power supply provides the required power.

Suitable for

• Extending USB-C ports to a more accessible location
• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures
• Using USB webcams, headsets or microphones placed away from the computer

How to use

Plug the USB-C male end into the host device and connect the USB-C female end to the peripheral.

Recommendations

For reliable performance at 10 m and to avoid signal drops, use the supplied power adapter. Do not attempt to cascade multiple active extension cables; use a single active extension per connection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable to maintain signal integrity and prolong service life.
