USB-C extension cable Exsys EX-1408, 5 m, USB 3.2 Gen 2x1

Exsys EX-1408 is a 5 m USB-C extension cable designed to extend USB-C connections while preserving high-speed data transfer compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2x1. The cable provides additional reach for laptops, docking stations, external drives and USB-C peripherals where the original cable is too short or device placement requires more distance. Its construction aims to maintain signal integrity over the extended length to support reliable file transfers and device communication at Gen 2x1 performance.

Advantages

The 5 m length offers flexible placement of devices without compromising the USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 data rate. The cable uses USB-C connectors on both ends for universal compatibility with modern hosts and devices. It is suitable for extending connections to external SSDs, docking stations and peripherals while preserving one-way high-speed data throughput. The simple design reduces cable clutter and allows convenient reconfiguration of workstation layouts.

Suitable for

• Extending a laptop USB-C port to a docking station or hub
• Connecting external SSDs or hard drives located away from the host
• Reaching USB-C peripherals such as monitors, audio interfaces or card readers
• Temporary setups where devices need additional cable length without replacing original cables

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector type: USB-C to USB-C
• Data standard supported: USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 (one lane, up to 10 Gbps)
• Direction: extension cable for host-to-device connections

How to use

Plug one USB-C connector into the host device or source cable and the other connector into the target device or peripheral. Ensure both connected devices support the USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 standard if you require maximum data throughput. For devices that negotiate lower speeds or power characteristics, the connection will operate at the highest mutually supported mode. Avoid sharp bends and pinching along the cable route to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

Use the Exsys EX-1408 primarily for data extension tasks where the distance between devices exceeds the length of factory-supplied cables. For best results, connect devices supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 and keep the cable free from tight coils and electromagnetic interference sources such as large transformers or wireless transmitters.
