10 m USB-A to USB-C active optical cable

This ten metre fibre cable connects a USB-C peripheral to a USB-A host port at distances copper cannot reach. It carries USB 3.2 Gen 2 data at up to 10 Gbps and is rated for in-wall plenum spaces. The assembly is data-only and supplies no power to the connected device.

Plenum-rated fibre installation

The slim fibre construction bends around corners and threads through ducts or drop ceilings without the bulk of copper. Because the cable is active optical, it must be oriented correctly: the USB-A plug goes to the host and the USB-C plug to the device. Reversing the ends will break the link.

10 Gbps data headroom

The link sustains full USB 3.2 Gen 2 throughput for external SSDs, docks or cameras at the full ten metre length. It cannot deliver charging current or support alternate video modes, so devices that need bus power or DisplayPort tunnelling will not function.
