15-metre USB-C active optical cable

This USB-C to USB-C active optical cable spans 15 metres while delivering USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates up to 10 Gbps. It connects desktops, laptops, servers or external hard drives without the bulk of copper equivalents. The plenum-rated jacket suits in-wall or ceiling installations. Data-only operation means it carries no video or power delivery signals.

Fiber construction eases routing in tight spaces

The slender, flexible fiber core bends around corners and through cable trays more easily than standard copper USB cables. It draws power directly from the host port, so no external adapter is required to maintain the 10 Gbps link across the full length. Backward compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1, 2.0 and 1.1 lets it work with older peripherals at their native speeds.

Passive thermal profile with no added noise

Because the cable uses optical signalling and draws only bus power, it generates negligible heat and adds no audible noise to the system. The plenum-rated jacket meets low-smoke and flame characteristics for building-code compliance. Power consumption stays within the host port’s standard allocation, leaving the supply headroom untouched.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum data rate this 15 m USB-C fibre cable can sustain?

The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1, 2.0 and 1.1 devices.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat or noise during continuous all-day operation?

It draws power directly from the connected device with no external supply needed, and the active optical design produces no audible noise or significant heat under normal use.

Which USB-C devices must I already own for this cable to work?

You need a host with a USB-C port and a USB-C peripheral such as a server, external hard drive or surveillance camera; the cable is data-only and does not carry video or power delivery.
