Tripp Lite USB-C AOC Cable (M/M), USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Plenum-Rated Fiber Active Optical Cable, Data Only, Backward Compatible, Black, 10 m (33 ft.)

The Tripp Lite U420F-10M-D321 is a USB-C Active Optical Cable that moves data at speeds up to 10 Gbps across a distance of ten meters. By using fiber instead of traditional copper, it maintains full USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance without signal loss, even when you need to reach equipment tucked high in a ceiling, behind a wall plate, or across a data center aisle.

This cable is plenum rated, so it can run through air-handling spaces, ceilings, and walls that must meet strict fire codes in offices, schools, and commercial buildings. The slim fiber construction bends more easily than many copper cables, which helps when you are pulling it through conduit or routing behind tight racks. Because it draws power directly from the USB port, no extra power brick is needed unless the connected device requires more than 1 A.

Use it to link a laptop to a desktop docking station at the other end of a conference table, to connect a rackmount server to an out-of-reach storage array, or to place a high-speed peripheral in a home office without moving furniture. Backward compatibility with earlier USB revisions keeps older gear in service, and the plug-and-play design works with Windows, macOS, Linux, and other operating systems.
