Tripp Lite 15m USB 3.2 Gen 2 AOC Cable

The Tripp Lite U428F-15M-D321 is a 15 metre active optical cable with a USB-A connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 signalling for high-speed data transfer over distances that exceed standard copper limits. This cable is built for installations where the host and peripheral are far apart. The black jacket suits professional and home environments.

Suits long USB-A to USB-C links; not for short runs

This cable suits users who must bridge a 15 metre gap between a USB-A host port and a USB-C device without signal degradation. It is not for users who need a short desktop cable, as the active optical design adds cost and bulk unnecessary at shorter lengths. Buyers who require a USB-C to USB-C connection or a different legacy connector should look at other cable types. The fixed length cannot be adjusted or coiled tightly.

15 metre active optical length decides fit

The single specification that decides suitability is the 15 metre active optical length, which enables reliable USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance across that exact distance. If the installation path is shorter, a passive copper cable is simpler and less expensive. If the route is longer, this cable will not reach and an extender or different length is required. Verify the exact endpoint separation before ordering.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the U428F-15M-D321 cable is operating correctly after installation?

Connect the USB-A plug to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 host port and the USB-C plug to a compatible device, then confirm the link negotiates at the expected SuperSpeed rate in your OS device manager or system profiler.

What does the package contain and what must be sourced separately?

The box includes the 15m active optical USB-A to USB-C cable only; no power adapters, drivers or mounting hardware are supplied, so any required host or peripheral power must come from the connected ports.

Which version of the U428F series should I select for a 15-metre USB 3.2 Gen 2 A-to-C run?

Choose the U428F-15M-D321 model, which is the 15-metre variant rated for USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance with USB-A to USB-C connectors.
