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

The EQUIP 133356 USB-C to USB-C Active Extension Cable extends USB-C connections up to 5 m while preserving signal integrity for reliable data transfer. This active extension cable includes built-in signal amplification so connected devices such as external hard drives, docking stations, webcams and other USB-C peripherals maintain stable performance over longer distances where a direct connection is impractical.

Advantages

The cable supports SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) with data rates up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. It is plug-and-play with no external power or drivers required, and features reinforced connectors, nickel-plated contacts and a durable PVC jacket for improved longevity. An additional USB-C 5V/2A power port allows supplementary power for high-draw devices such as HDDs or SSDs (power cord not included).

Suitable for

• Extending connections to external hard drives and SSDs
• Connecting docking stations and USB-C hubs
• Linking webcams and streaming peripherals at a distance
• Professional AV setups and home office workstation expansion

How to use

Plug the USB-C male end into the host device (laptop, docking station or PC) and connect the USB-C female end to the peripheral device. The active circuitry in the cable automatically boosts the signal to maintain data integrity over the extended length. If connecting a high-power device, attach a separate 5V/2A USB-C power cord to the cable’s additional power port (power cord sold separately) to improve stability.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources, and use the additional 5V/2A power port when connecting power-hungry storage devices.
