16 ft USB 3.2 Gen 1 active extension
This 16 ft active extension cable carries USB 3.2 Gen 1 signals between a Type-A host and a Type-C device. A built-in repeater preserves signal integrity so the link runs at up to 5 Gbps over the full length. It suits industrial cameras, machine-vision rigs and test benches where standard cables fall short. The bus-powered design needs no external adapter.
Dual screw-lock connector and vision compliance
One end uses a dual screw-lock mechanism that resists vibration and accidental pulls in moving or mounted setups. The same end mates with ordinary Type-C ports when the screws are not engaged. Vision compliance confirms the cable meets the bandwidth and latency needs of imaging applications. Black jacket and rugged mouldings withstand daily handling.
Replaces passive cables that fail at distance
Passive copper cables typically drop packets or fall back to lower speeds beyond three metres. This active link removes that limit for 5 Gbps gear without requiring fibre or external power. The upgrade is worth it when a camera, sensor or peripheral must sit 16 ft from the host and reliability matters more than minimum cost.
