FAQs

What is the maximum total distance I can achieve by cascading these cables?

You can cascade up to three Lindy USB 3.2 Gen 2 Active Extension Pro cables to achieve a maximum total distance of 15 meters (5 meters per cable).

Does this cable support charging my laptop or phone?

No, this cable does not support USB Power Delivery (PD). It is designed for data transfer only and cannot be used to charge your computer or other devices.

Can I connect a monitor or display through this cable?

No, this cable does not support DisplayPort Alternate Mode, which is required for sending video signals over USB Type-C. It is strictly for USB data transfer.

What is the data transfer speed supported by this cable?

The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2), with a maximum data transfer rate of 10Gbps.

Do I need to install any drivers for this cable?

No, drivers are typically not required. This is a plug-and-play device that should be automatically recognized by modern operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) with USB Type-C support.

When should I use the external power adapter?

It is recommended to use an external USB power supply unit (sold separately) if you are connecting devices that draw significant power, such as external hard drives or high-bandwidth peripherals, to ensure stable operation and prevent performance issues.

What type of connector does the external power adapter use?

The extension cable features a DC socket for power input. A USB power adapter cable is included, allowing you to connect a standard USB power adapter (e.g., a phone charger with at least 5V/2A output) to this cable.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or disconnecting frequently.

Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. If using a power-hungry device, connect an external USB power supply to the DC socket on the extension cable. Try connecting directly to the computer without the extension to rule out device issues. Check if your computer's USB ports support the required USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds.

Slow data transfer speeds.

Verify that both the computer and the connected USB device support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps). Ensure no other high-bandwidth USB devices are heavily utilizing the same USB controller. Connect an external power supply to the extension cable if the connected device is power-limited.

No power is being delivered to the connected device (if it requires bus power).

This cable does not support USB Power Delivery. For devices that require significant bus power, connect a dedicated USB power adapter to the DC socket on the extension cable using the included adapter cable.

Cable is not recognized after connecting.

Restart your computer. Try a different USB Type-C port on your computer. Ensure your computer's operating system and drivers are up to date.
