Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this cable?

The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2), which allows for data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps.

Can I use this cable to charge my laptop?

No, this cable does not support USB Power Delivery (PD). It cannot be used to charge your laptop or other host devices.

Can I connect a USB-C monitor to this cable for video output?

No, this cable does not support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). It is strictly for USB data transfer and does not carry video signals.

Do I need to install any drivers to use this cable?

No, the Lindy USB 3.2 Active Extension Cable features Plug and Play functionality and does not require any drivers or software installation.

What happens if my USB device requires more power than the USB port can provide?

The cable includes a DC socket. You can connect an external 5V 1A power supply (sold separately) to this socket to provide sufficient power for high-consumption USB peripherals.

Can I connect multiple of these cables together to extend the length further?

Yes, for even greater distances, you can connect two of these active extension cables in series. However, keep in mind that performance might be affected by the total length and number of connections.

What is the difference between USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 speeds?

USB 3.2 Gen 1 (including USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1) supports speeds up to 5Gbps. USB 3.2 Gen 2 (including USB 3.1 Gen 2) supports speeds up to 10Gbps. This cable is USB 3.2 Gen 2.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or disconnecting intermittently.

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Try connecting the device directly to the computer to rule out issues with the device itself. If using a power-hungry peripheral, connect an external 5V 1A power supply to the cable's DC socket. Verify that the connected device and host computer ports are USB 3.2 Gen 2 or higher for optimal performance.

Slow data transfer speeds (less than expected 10Gbps).

Confirm that both your host computer's USB-C port and your connected USB-C device support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) speeds. If connected through a hub or dock, ensure those devices also support 10Gbps. Check the cable for any physical damage. Try connecting directly without any intermediate devices.

Cable does not power connected USB-C device.

This cable does not support USB Power Delivery (PD) for charging the host computer or delivering high power to devices through the USB-C connection alone. For devices requiring significant power, use the DC socket to connect an external 5V 1A power adapter.

No video output when connecting a USB-C monitor or display.

This active extension cable does not support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). It is designed solely for data transfer and power (via external adapter if needed), not for video signals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables reliable, high-speed data transfer over a 5-meter distance.
  • Active electronics maintain signal quality, crucial for 10Gbps performance.
  • Optional external power input supports demanding peripherals.
  • Reversible USB-C connectors offer convenience.
  • Plug and Play functionality ensures easy setup.

Cons

  • Does not support USB Power Delivery (PD).
  • Does not support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
  • Requires a separate power adapter for high-power devices.
  • Maximum cable length limit of 5m per cable; chaining is possible but might affect performance.
  • Only supports Type-C to Type-C connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the male USB Type-C end of the Lindy extension cable to the USB 3.2 Type-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port on your computer or host device.
  2. Connect your USB 3.2 Type-C device (e.g., flash drive, external SSD, hub) to the female USB Type-C port on the extension cable.
  3. For devices requiring additional power, connect a 5V 1A external power supply (not included) to the DC power socket on the extension cable.

Compatibility:

  • Host Devices: Compatible with all computers featuring USB 3.2 Type-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 ports. This includes modern laptops, MacBooks (including M1, M2, etc.), and USB-C equipped desktops.
  • USB Versions: Supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps), USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps), and USB 3.0 (5Gbps). Note that the overall speed will be limited by the slowest component in the chain.
  • Important Exclusions: This cable does not support USB Power Delivery (PD) for charging the host device, nor does it support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video output.

Care:

  • Keep the cable and its connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
  • Protect the cable from physical damage, such as kinks, sharp bends, or being run over by chairs.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the external power supply, if used, is correctly rated (5V 1A) and is of good quality to avoid damaging the cable or connected devices.
