Nippon Labs USB-C Full-Function Extension Cable M/F, 1.5 ft, 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2, 4K 60Hz

The Nippon Labs USB-C full-function extension cable adds 0.5 m (1.5 ft) of reach to any USB-C cable without giving up speed, power or video. One end is a USB-C male plug, the other a USB-C female receptacle, so a dock cable, monitor cable or charger lead that comes up short can be extended instead of replaced.

What it carries

• Data at 10 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2, also labeled USB 3.1 Gen 2), backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.
• Video up to 4K at 60 Hz for USB-C monitors and docks that use DisplayPort Alt Mode.
• Power Delivery up to 100 W for charging laptops, tablets and phones through the extension.
• Thunderbolt 3 compatible docks and drives that use the USB-C connector.

Typical uses

• Bringing a laptop dock's short captive cable up to a standing desk or monitor arm.
• Extending a USB-C charger so the laptop can sit where you actually work.
• Reaching a USB-C port on the back of a monitor, TV or wall plate without unplugging the original cable.

Specifications

Good to know

An extension adds to the length of the whole link, and the devices at each end only see the total. For the most reliable 10 Gbps and 4K performance, pair it with a short, well-made USB-C cable and keep the combined run as short as you can. Need a different reach? The same cable is also available in a 1 m (3.3 ft) version.
