Lindy 43439 8m USB 3.2 USB-C to USB-C Active Cable with 10Gbps Data Transfer Speed, 8K60 Video Support, and 100W Power Delivery

The Lindy 8m USB 3.2 USB-C to USB-C Active Cable is a high-performance connectivity solution designed to bridge longer distances without signal degradation. Measuring 8 meters in length, this active cable integrates built-in electronics to maintain signal integrity for demanding data, video, and power transmission tasks. It facilitates high-speed data transfer rates up to 10Gbps, allowing large files to move quickly between compatible peripherals and hosts. In addition to data capabilities, the cable supports ultra-high-definition video output up to 8K at 60Hz, making it suitable for high-resolution displays and modern workstations. With integrated Power Delivery support up to 100W, it also delivers substantial electrical power to charge connected laptops, tablets, and other USB-C powered devices efficiently while in use.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this active USB-C cable is its ability to maintain reliable high-speed performance and video transmission over an extended 8-meter reach, which is typically not possible with standard passive cables. The inclusion of active repeater electronics ensures that data packets and high-bandwidth video signals remain stable and free from interference across the entire length. Users benefit from a versatile single-cable connection that simultaneously handles high-resolution video output, rapid data synchronization, and high-wattage device charging. The robust construction and standard USB-C reversible connectors provide dependable daily operation and broad compatibility with modern hardware ecosystems.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C laptops to external 8K or 4K monitors over long distances
• Transferring large data files between high-speed storage drives and computers
• Powering and charging USB-C compatible laptops and mobile devices up to 100W
• Setting up extended conference room or workstation displays

When it may not be suitable

This active cable is designed specifically for USB 3.2 Gen 2 standards and may not be necessary or optimal for basic peripheral connections like standard keyboards or mice that only require low-speed USB 2.0. Additionally, because it is an active cable with integrated directional electronics, it must be connected in the correct orientation between the host system and the display or peripheral device.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 8 meters
• Interface: USB 3.2 USB-C to USB-C
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10Gbps
• Video resolution support: Up to 8K at 60Hz
• Power Delivery: Up to 100W (20V 5A)
• Active technology with integrated signal booster chipsets

How to use

To use the active cable correctly, identify the source or host end and the display or device end as indicated by the connector markings. Plug the host end directly into a compatible USB-C port on your computer, laptop, or hub. Connect the other end of the cable to your USB-C monitor, docking station, or peripheral device. Ensure that the connected ports support the necessary video output and Power Delivery features to take full advantage of the cable's capabilities. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling along the cable run to protect the internal active components.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your host device and display feature compatible USB-C ports supporting DP Alt Mode for video output
• Confirm the required length to ensure 8 meters is appropriate for your physical setup
• Check the power requirements of your connected devices to ensure compatibility with the 100W Power Delivery limit
• Note that active cables are directional and must be installed following the manufacturer instructions

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, always route the cable away from heavy electromagnetic sources and avoid pinching or tightly coiling the 8-meter length during installation. Ensure that firmware and drivers for your graphics card and USB-C controllers are kept up to date to guarantee stable 8K video transmission and consistent power delivery.
