Purpose and compatibility

This 8-inch USB-C male-to-female cable acts as a port saver for USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices. It connects laptops, tablets or phones such as a MacBook, Chromebook Pixel, Nintendo Switch, Nexus 5X or 6P, Nokia N1 tablet or Lumia 950 and 950XL. The reversible plug reduces wear on built-in ports while keeping the host-to-device relationship flexible.

Data rate and power headroom

The link runs at up to 10 Gbps in either direction, so large file transfers and video streams move without bottleneck. It also carries scalable power charging, letting you replace the original cable for faster charging of the same devices. The short length keeps signal loss minimal while still giving a little reach.

Interface limits and exclusions

This cable does not work with Apple or Dell Multi-Media Adapter Hubs or Docks; connecting it to those adapters will yield no function. It is a straight USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C extension, so it cannot add display protocols or alternate modes that the host port itself does not already provide.

Questions about this item

Will this 8-inch USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable work with my older USB-C laptop that only supports 5Gbps?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will operate at the older port's 5Gbps limit while still providing a full-featured connection.

How can I verify the cable is delivering the full 10Gbps link speed after connecting it?

Check the operating system's USB controller details or run a disk-speed test with a 10Gbps-capable drive; the link should negotiate at 10Gbps when both host and device support it.

Does the package include a power adapter or only the male-to-female extension cable itself?

Only the 8-inch USB-C male-to-female extension cable is included; any power adapter or host device must be supplied separately.
