What this cable is and who needs it

The IOGEAR CMTF-02RD is a 7.8‑inch USB‑C male‑to‑female extension cord built to protect the host port from repeated plug cycles. It suits laptop, tablet or Nintendo Switch owners who want a short, durable tail for docks, hubs or chargers.

Behaviour under sustained load

Rated for USB 3.1 Gen 2 at 10 Gbps, the cable maintains full 100 W (20 V / 5 A) power delivery and 4K video throughput during long transfers or charging sessions. The 14 AWG copper conductors and aluminium‑alloy shells keep temperature stable over extended use.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm your device uses a standard USB‑C port that follows the unified specification; early Thunderbolt 3 docks and Apple multimedia adapters are explicitly not supported. The extender adds 16 pins in a straight‑through layout, so any host‑side orientation requirement must be checked on the target hardware.

Questions about this item

Does the 14 AWG copper conductor stay cool when the cable carries 100 W of power all day?

The 14 AWG copper conductor is rated for 20 V at 5 A, so it handles the full 100 W charging load without overheating during extended use.

What must my device provide for this extender to deliver 10 Gbps data and 4K video?

Your host needs a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 and DisplayPort Alternate Mode; the cable then passes through 10 Gbps data and 4K video signals.

Will this 7.8-inch extender work with my older USB 2.0 Type-C accessories?

Yes, it is backward compatible — USB 2.0 devices will connect, though some may require flipping the plug orientation to function.
