USB 3.2 Gen 2 active optical cable

The Tripp Lite U420F-10M-D3 is a 10 metre fibre optic cable with USB-C connectors on both ends. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates up to 10 Gbps for connecting servers, external hard drives or cameras to a desktop or laptop. The cable carries data only and does not support power delivery or video output. It draws operating power directly from the host device.

Host port must be USB 3.2 Gen 2

This cable is not backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 ports. The host computer and the target device must both provide USB-C ports that operate at USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) for the link to function. Verify that your equipment meets this exact interface requirement before ordering. No external power adapter is required for the cable itself.

Slim plenum-rated jacket runs cool

The fibre construction is thinner and more flexible than equivalent copper cables, allowing easier routing around corners and through tight spaces behind equipment. A CMP-rated plenum jacket makes the cable suitable for in-wall and in-ceiling installations where fire codes apply. In normal use the cable runs cool and silent because it has no active electronics that require cooling fans.
