With a hybrid cable, parts of the data are transmitted via optical fibers (light signals) and the other part with copper wires. The advantage of such an active optical cable is that a much longer transmission distance can be reached, because light signals are much less sensitive compared to electrical signals. Furthermore, hybrid cables are lighter in weight and have a smaller cable diameter compared to pure copper cables (on comparable length). USB-C is growing in popularity and it is the standard which portable electronic device manufacturers have aligned. In addition to tablets and smartphones, USB-C is also used as a charging interface for workstations. USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) is limited to short distances, with the hybrid cables now it is possible to reach bigger distances. Due to its compact plug design and the flexible cable it is perfect for VR applications. Info: not all devices with USB-C interface support the 60 watts fast charge capability (PD) or data transmission of 10 Gbps (SuperSpeed ??USB 10Gbps). Please contact your device manufacturer for more information. Not suitable for docking stations with video support, because the DP alternate mode, which is needed for transmission of image signals, is not supported . · Connections: USB-C plug to USB-C plug · Supports: PowerDelivery 3.0 up to 60W (20V/3A), Plug and Play · Bandwidth up to: 10 Gbps · USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (SuperSpeed ??USB 10Gbps) · Backward compatible to USB 2.0: no · Compatible with all USB-C interfaces (including): SuperSpeed ??USB, SuperSpeed ??USB 10Gbps, USB4, Thunderbolt 3/4 · Signal direction: Bidirectional (non-directional) · Plug: moulded with metal shielding · Contact surface: pins gold plated · Plug cover: TPE · Wire material: copper / POF · Reinforced: aramid fiber · Cable type: round cable · Material cable sheath: TPE · Min. bending radius: 20mm · Cable sheath diameter (ca.): 4.5mm · Color: black · Length: 10.0m
