LINDY 43308 5m Active USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C Cable 10Gbps 8K
The LINDY 43308 5m Active USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C Cable extends USB-C connections up to 5 metres while maintaining 10 Gbps data transfer and DisplayPort video support. It suits anyone connecting modern laptops, docking stations or displays across a larger distance — meeting rooms, classrooms and offices where cable runs cannot reach.
Why this product
Active electronics maintain speed over distance
Built-in signal boosting preserves 10 Gbps data transfer and supports DisplayPort 1.4 Alternate Mode video, eliminating the performance loss that comes with passive extension cables.
8K video and 4K at high refresh rates
Outputs up to UHD 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz when running DisplayPort 1.2 signals. DisplayPort 1.4 signals fall back to USB 2.0 data rates but retain video output.
100W power delivery in one cable
Delivers up to 100W (20V / 5A) through Power Delivery, so a single connection handles data, video and charging for most modern USB-C laptops and displays.
Plug-and-play installation
No drivers or configuration needed — connect and use immediately with any USB 3.2 Type-C or Thunderbolt-equipped computer.

- Works with any USB 3.2 Type-C or Thunderbolt-equipped computer, including modern MacBooks, Windows laptops and USB-C tablets.
- Compatible with USB 3.2 displays, docking stations and external storage devices that carry USB-C connectors.
- Video and data together require compromise: DisplayPort 1.4 signals reduce data to USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps); DisplayPort 1.2 with data at 10 Gbps supports up to 4K 60 Hz or 4K 120 Hz.
- Does not work with older USB Type-A, Micro-B or USB 2.0 only devices without an active converter.
Best for
- Office and meeting room setups needing to run cables across walls, ceilings or under floors to reach displays, projectors or collaboration panels.
- Classroom and presentation environments where a single cable must carry video, data and power from a lecturer's laptop to a large display.
- Content creators and developers connecting external storage, high-speed peripherals or docking stations more than 2 metres away from their workstation.
Trade-offs
- Short-distance connections (under 1–2 metres), where a standard passive USB-C cable costs far less and offers the same speed.
- Setups requiring the highest video quality alongside maximum data bandwidth — active mode forces a trade-off: 8K video with DisplayPort 1.4 drops data to USB 2.0 speeds, or 10 Gbps data requires DisplayPort 1.2 capped at 4K.
- Budget-constrained installations where multiple shorter passive cables and a small hub are cheaper than a single active extension cable.
USB active cables allow users to extend the connection distance between two USB devices. These cables feature integrated active electronics to boost the signal for high speed data transfer.
The Lindy USB 3.2 Gen 2 Active Cable uses built-in active electronics to extend the cable length of a USB 3.2 device by an additional 5m whilst continuing to support fast and efficient data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps as well as Displayport 1.4 Alternate Mode.
It combines data, video and USB Power Delivery into one cable which makes it a great solution for use in modern meeting rooms and classrooms when connecting LFDs and touchpanels.
When sending DP 1.4 signals, only USB 2.0 up to 480Mbps can be supported. USB 3.2 Gen 2 with data rates up to 10Gbps can be achieved when sending DP 1.2 signals with resolutions up to 4K 60Hz.
The cable also supports Power Delivery up to 100W (20V / 5A).
Compatible with USB 3.2 Type C/Thunderbolt equipped computers, this is a perfect extension tool for the latest laptops, Macbooks and Type C computers.
With plug and play functionality, this extension cable can be installed quickly and with minimum fuss.
