Microconnect MC-USB3.2CA15OP USB cable USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) 15 m USB A USB C Black

The Microconnect MC-USB3.2CA15OP is a 15 m active optical USB cable with a USB A connector on one end and a USB C connector on the other. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is designed to extend USB connections over longer distances while maintaining high-speed transfer performance. The cable is black and features gold-plated contacts for improved durability.

Advantages

This active optical cable enables long-distance USB connections without significant signal loss, supports up to 10 Gbit/s transfer speeds (USB 3.2 Gen 2), and is compatible with a wide range of USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 devices. Gold-plated contacts increase contact reliability and resistance to corrosion, while the 15 m length allows flexible device placement in offices, meeting rooms, or production environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to external drives and NAS over longer distances

How to use

Connect the USB A plug to the host device (PC, laptop, or hub) and the USB C plug to the peripheral (external drive, camera, printer, or scanner). Ensure both connected devices support USB 3.x standards to achieve maximum transfer speeds. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. No external power is normally required; if a device requests additional power, consult the device documentation or use a powered USB hub as needed.

Recommendations

For stable high-speed performance, avoid tight cable bends and place the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. Verify device compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 2 to benefit from the 10 Gbit/s transfer rate; otherwise the connection will fall back to the highest mutually supported speed.
