Signal integrity over distance
The Eaton U420F-15M is a USB-C to USB-C active optical cable built for 15 m runs. It carries USB 3.2 Gen 2 data at 10 Gbps and supports 8K HDR 4:4:4 video, making it suitable for professional AV installs and remote workstation links.
Sustained throughput stability
Fiber construction removes the signal loss and EMI susceptibility that limit copper at this length. The cable maintains full 10 Gbps bandwidth and 40 W Power Delivery continuously across the 15 m span without repeaters or external power.
Plug-and-play routing
Male-to-male connectors mate directly with host and device ports, requiring no drivers or configuration. The thin fiber jacket eases conduit pulls, though the fixed 15 m length cannot be shortened and excess slack must be managed in-cabinet.

Questions about this item
Does the 15 m fiber cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when used continuously at 10 Gbps?
The active optical design uses light transmission, so the cable itself stays cool and only the endpoints consume the 40 W charging budget during all‑day operation.
What ports must my devices already have to use this USB‑C to USB‑C cable for 8K HDR video and 10 Gbps data?
Both ends need a full‑function USB‑C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 alternate‑mode video and 40 W Power Delivery simultaneously.
Will this 15 m active optical cable work reliably with my older USB 3.1 Gen 1 dock that only does 5 Gbps?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will negotiate 5 Gbps with the older dock while still carrying 8K HDR video and up to 40 W charging.
