USB-C to USB-C Active Optical Cable InLine 35797I — USB 3.2 Gen 2, 8K@60Hz, 60W, 7.5 m

InLine 35797I is an Active Optical USB-C to USB-C cable designed to extend high-bandwidth USB-C connections up to 7.5 meters without sacrificing signal quality. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates and transmits video signals up to 8K at 60 Hz while also carrying power delivery up to 60 W. The cable is intended for use with USB-C Alt Mode compatible devices and enables long-distance linking between laptops, monitors, docking stations and other USB-C equipment where copper cables would be limited by length or signal degradation.

Advantages

The active optical construction preserves signal integrity across the full 7.5 m length, reducing attenuation and electromagnetic interference compared to long copper cables. Support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 ensures up to 10 Gbps data throughput for fast file transfers and peripheral connectivity. Video transmission up to 8K@60 Hz allows high-resolution displays to be driven from a single USB-C connection, while 60 W power delivery supports powering or charging many laptops and USB-C devices. The reversible USB-C connectors simplify attachment on both ends.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops to external USB-C monitors at long distances
• Linking docking stations or hubs to host devices across a desk or meeting room
• High-resolution video output for content creation, CAD or multimedia editing
• Fast data transfer between compatible peripherals and hosts
• Powering or charging USB-C devices from remote power sources up to 60 W

• Power delivery: up to 60 W
• Length: 7.5 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector orientation: reversible USB-C on both ends

How to use

Connect one USB-C connector to the host device (laptop, docking station or compatible source) and the other USB-C connector to the target device such as a monitor, hub or peripheral. Ensure both devices support the required USB-C Alt Mode and power or data profiles for the intended use. For video, set the host’s display output to the connected monitor and adjust resolution and refresh rate as needed in the operating system display settings. No external power is normally required for the cable itself, but ensure the source provides sufficient power delivery when charging a device.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in environments free of sharp bends and excessive twisting to preserve optical integrity. For reliable 8K@60 Hz operation, verify that connected devices and graphics hardware support the required video modes. When using power delivery near 60 W, confirm the host’s USB-C port can supply the necessary power and use power adapters rated accordingly.
