16 ft active USB-C extension
This 16 ft active cable extends a USB-C connection between computers, servers or external hard drives without signal loss. It uses a male-to-female configuration so you can plug it into an existing cable or port and gain extra reach. The reversible USB-C connectors insert either way up for quick, no-fuss connections. It is built with aluminum and PVC materials for durability in data centres, workspaces or home theatres.
5 Gbps data with 770 mA power
The cable supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, ten times faster than USB 2.0. It delivers up to 770 mA of bus power to the connected device, so many peripherals run without an external adapter. If a device needs more current than 770 mA, an external power supply must be added. Both the host port and the peripheral must be USB 3.0 to achieve the rated 5 Gbps speed.
Daisy-chain to 33 ft for longer runs
Two cables can be daisy-chained together to reach a total length of 33 ft when a single 16 ft run is not enough. The male-to-female design lets the extension sit inline with your existing USB-C cable, freeing up placement options for drives, docks or other gear. No separate power brick is required for the cable itself, keeping the setup simple.

Questions about this item
Will this cable work with my existing USB 3.0 Type-C hard drive at the full 5 Gbps rate?
Yes — the active extension supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps provided both the host port and the drive are USB 3.0 or newer.
How can I verify the link is running at 5 Gbps after I plug it in?
Check the operating system's device manager or system report; it should list the connection speed as USB 3.1 Gen 1 or 5 Gbps.
Does the package include a power adapter, or do I need to buy one separately for bus-powered drives?
The cable delivers up to 770mA from the host port alone; a separate power supply is only required if the connected device draws more than that.
