Extension Cable for USB-C 3.2 Gen 2

This 0.5 m male-to-female cable extends a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection while preserving 20 Gbps data rates and 240 W Power Delivery. It suits users who need extra reach between a host port and an external SSD, dock, or eGPU enclosure without sacrificing bandwidth. The extender requires a separate USB-C 3.2 male-to-male cable to complete the link.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Rated for continuous 20 Gbps throughput, the cable maintains full speed only when the total chain length stays within 3 m; longer runs introduce severe signal attenuation. Power Delivery up to 240 W is supported across PD 3.1 and earlier profiles, so charging remains stable during prolonged data transfers or video output sessions. Backward compatibility ensures operation at lower USB generations if either end negotiates a slower link.

Build Quality and Daily Use

Gold-plated, USB-IF certified connectors sit inside an aluminum alloy shell with a nylon-braided jacket for durability. The construction resists oxidation and physical wear during frequent connect-disconnect cycles. Note that the extender does not work with Thunderbolt 3 docks, hubs, or cables (except direct Thunderbolt 3 laptop ports), Apple multimedia adapters, GoPro cameras, or Oculus Quest Link.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.5 m cable get warm when delivering 240 W continuously?

The aluminium shell and gold-plated connectors are designed to dissipate heat during high-power PD 3.1 charging sessions.

What must I already have to use this male-to-female extender?

You need a separate USB-C 3.2 male-to-male cable to link your laptop or display to this extender.

Will my older USB 3.0 SSD still reach full speed through this cable?

The cable is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0, but 20 Gbps requires both ends to support USB 3.2 Gen 2 or higher.
