Purpose and users

This IOGEAR ED008 USB C extension cable adds 1.5 feet of reach to an existing USB-C port. It suits laptop, tablet and console owners who need to connect drives, hubs or displays without straining the original socket. The cable handles 10 Gbps data, 100 W charging and 4K 60 Hz video on devices that support those modes. It is not for buyers who need Thunderbolt 3 active-dock compatibility or lengths beyond 1.5 feet.

Installation and pitfalls

Plug the male end into the host and the female end accepts any USB-C device; no drivers are required. The copper conductors and 16-pin connector preserve full USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed when the host port is also Gen 2. Common issues arise when users expect Thunderbolt 3 docking stations to work — they will not — or when the host USB-C port lacks video-alt-mode or PD support, limiting the cable to data only.

Deciding specification

The single figure that determines fit is the 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rate combined with 100 W (20 V 5 A) power delivery. If your device and charger both support that profile, the cable will deliver full speed and fast charging; if either side tops out at a lower standard, performance will fall to the lowest common denominator.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the cable is delivering 100 W charging after I plug it in?

The cable supports 100 W (20 V 5 A) output; verify on the laptop or phone that the charger reports 100 W or 20 V 5 A while connected.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a separate charger or hub?

Only the 1.5 ft USB-C male-to-female extension cable is included; a USB-C power adapter and any hub or dock must be purchased separately.

Which version should I choose if I need 10 Gbps data and 4K 60 Hz video?

This ED008 model is specified for USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10 Gbps and 4K 60 Hz (3840×2160); select it when those speeds and resolution are required.
