Secure screw-lock extension
The CoolGear 26ft USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A to C cable adds an active repeater and a dual screw lock on the Type-C end to keep connections firm over long runs. It suits industrial cameras, machine-vision rigs or test benches where vibration or accidental pulls would unseat a standard plug. The 8-metre reach lets you place devices far from the host without signal loss.
Replaces passive cables beyond five metres
Passive copper cables typically drop to USB 2.0 speeds or fail entirely at this length, so the built-in repeater is the reason to choose this model. The jump is worth it when you need the full 5Gbps throughput at 26 feet and cannot move the host closer. If your run stays under five metres a passive cable will do the job for less money.
Check power and port fit before ordering
The repeater draws bus power but also accepts optional external power via a USB 2.0 Micro-B port; verify your host can supply enough current or plan for the extra adapter. Ensure the Type-C device end can accommodate the screw-lock collar — some recessed ports block it — though the cable still works with non-locking sockets. Confirm the Type-A host port is USB 3.2 Gen 1 capable to realise the rated speed.

Questions about this item
What screw thread does the dual screw lock end of this 26 ft cable accept?
The dual screw lock end uses standard USB Type-C screw threads to secure the connection; the opposite end is a plain USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A plug.
Does the built-in repeater draw all its power from the bus, or must I connect the Micro-B port?
The cable is bus-powered by default; connect the USB 2.0 Micro-B port only when the host cannot supply enough current for the active repeater over the full 26 ft run.
If the Micro-B power input fails, can the cable still operate on bus power alone?
Yes, the Micro-B port is optional external power; the active repeater will continue working on bus power if the external supply is disconnected or unavailable.
