USB-C to USB-C Active Extension Cable EQUIP 10 m, USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), black

The EQUIP USB-C to USB-C Active Extension Cable (10 m) maintains stable high-speed USB connections over long distances by using built-in signal amplification. Designed for extending USB-C links between laptops, docking stations, external drives, webcams and other peripherals, this active extension preserves data integrity where a direct cable run is impractical. It supports SuperSpeed USB 3.1/USB 3.2 Gen 1 at up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0.

Advantages

The active design prevents signal degradation over the 10 m length and ensures reliable 5 Gbps data transfer for compatible devices without additional drivers or external power. Reinforced connectors, nickel-plated contacts and an aluminum casing increase durability, while the PVC jacket protects the cable during regular use. A dedicated USB-C 5V/2A auxiliary power port allows improved stability when connecting higher-power devices (power cord not included).

Suitable for

• Extending connections to docking stations and laptop hubs
• Connecting external HDD/SSD enclosures at a distance
• Linking webcams, monitors or AV equipment in professional installations
• Home office setups where direct cable routing is limited

How to use

Plug the USB-C male end into the host device (for example a laptop or docking station) and connect the USB-C female end to the downstream peripheral using a USB-C cable. If the connected peripheral requires extra power, connect a 5V/2A USB-C power cable to the auxiliary power port (power cable sold separately). The cable is plug-and-play and requires no driver installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, use USB 3.2 Gen 1 compatible devices and high-quality USB-C cables for the downstream connection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on connectors; route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. When connecting high-power storage devices, use the auxiliary 5V/2A power port to maintain stable operation.
