USB-C active extension cable EQUIP 15 m, USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), nickel contacts, black

The EQUIP 15 m USB-C active extension cable (MPN 133358) extends USB-C connections up to 15 metres while preserving signal integrity. It is an active cable with built-in signal amplification designed to maintain stable data transmission for USB-C devices such as external drives, docking stations, webcams and other peripherals when a direct connection is not possible due to distance or layout constraints.

Advantages

This active extension supports SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) with up to 5 Gbps data transfer and is backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no drivers or external power for standard data use. Reinforced connectors, nickel-plated contacts and a durable PVC jacket increase reliability and longevity, while an additional USB-C 5V/2A power port allows more stable connections for higher-power devices (power cord not included).

Suitable for

• Extending connections for external HDD/SSD and other storage devices
• Connecting docking stations and USB-C hubs at a distance
• Professional AV installations and conference room setups
• Home office expansion where cable routing or desk layout prevents direct connection
• Webcams and peripherals positioned away from the host computer

Key specifications

• Additional power port: USB-C 5V/2A (power cord not included)
• Colour: Black
• Quantity: 1 pc

How to use

Plug the USB-C male end into the host device (laptop, PC or dock) and connect the USB-C female end to the peripheral using a standard USB-C cable. The active extension amplifies the signal automatically, so no driver installation is required. If you connect a high-power device such as an HDD/SSD that requires additional power stability, connect a 5V/2A USB-C power source to the cable's auxiliary power port (power cord sold separately).

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid tight bends. Use the auxiliary 5V/2A power input when connecting power-hungry storage devices to improve stability. Verify device compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1 if full 5 Gbps throughput is required.
