Lindy USB 3.2 Gen 1 C/A Active Extension Pro - 8m

This cable extends USB Type-C to USB Type-A connections. It's ideal for USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) devices, but will also work with USB 2.0 devices at their respective speeds. For devices with high power demands, especially when extending beyond the first segment, using a powered hub is recommended.

When used as part of the Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension System Pro, you can achieve distances of up to approximately 40 meters by cascading multiple active extension cables and hubs. The specific configuration of cables used will influence the maximum achievable distance.

The cable has an active repeater and may require power for certain high-power USB devices. A USB power adapter cable is included for this purpose. Connect it to the DC port on the extension cable if your peripheral needs it or if you are experiencing stability issues.

For practical purposes, USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 all refer to the same standard, supporting data transfer rates up to 5Gbps. This cable is compatible with all three.

This cable has a USB Type-C male connector on one end and a USB Type-A female connector on the other. To connect a USB Type-C device to the end of an extension system, you would typically use a Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Type A to C adapter cable (e.g., Nr. 43375 or 43376) as the final segment.

The Lindy USB 3.2 Gen 1 C/A Active Extension Cable Pro comes with a 2-year warranty.

The cable features locking connectors. Once plugged in, you can engage the locking mechanism to prevent the cable from accidentally being pulled out. This is particularly useful in busy environments or installations where stability is critical.

Ensure the USB Type-C connector is fully inserted into the host and the USB Type-A connector is fully inserted into the device. Check that the locking connectors are secured. Try connecting the device directly to the computer to rule out the peripheral as the issue. If using the cable as part of a longer chain, verify the order of connection and ensure any necessary power adapters are connected.

Confirm that both the host computer and the connected device support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps). Ensure the correct USB ports are being used. Check for other high-bandwidth USB devices connected simultaneously that might be sharing bandwidth. Restart the computer and the peripheral device.

If the connected device has high power requirements, connect the included USB power adapter cable to the DC input on the extension cable and to a wall adapter. Ensure the power source is adequate. Verify that the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on the computer is providing sufficient power.

Verify that only the specified Lindy USB 3.2 C/A Active Extension Pro 8m (43381) or 5m (43380) cables are used as the initial connection to the computer. Ensure subsequent segments are compatible Lindy Extension Pro System components. For chains exceeding 8m or involving multiple devices, a powered Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro Hub (e.g., Nr. 43159) is recommended as the final segment.
