USB-C extension cable MicroConnect USB3.1CC05EX 3.2 Gen 1, 1 m, USB 3.1/3.2 Gen1 data extension extends USB-C connections by 1 metre while supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 data rates. The cable provides a straightforward way to increase reach between USB-C devices such as laptops, docking stations, external drives and peripherals without changing connectors or adapters. It is constructed to preserve high-speed data transfer and maintain a reliable connection for everyday home and office use.

Advantages

The extension cable maintains USB 3.2 Gen 1 data throughput and supports plug-and-play operation with USB-C hosts and devices. Its 1 m length offers additional flexibility for arranging workspaces and connecting devices that are otherwise out of reach. The cable uses standard USB-C connectors at both ends to ensure compatibility with modern laptops, docks, storage devices and accessories, and it is designed for stable signal transmission and straightforward setup.

Suitable for

• Extending the reach of USB-C external drives and SSDs
• Connecting laptops to docking stations or hubs placed further away
• Providing additional length for USB-C peripherals such as webcams, microphones, or card readers
• Temporary or permanent workspace arrangements in home and office environments

How to use

Plug the USB-C male end of the extension into the host device or source cable, then connect the USB-C device to the female port on the extension. The cable is plug-and-play; most supported devices will recognise the connection automatically and negotiate the highest mutually supported data rate. Ensure that both connected devices support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the listed maximum throughput.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid tightly coiling the cable or running it alongside high-power cables that could introduce interference. Use the extension for data connections; if a device requires USB-C power delivery at high wattage, verify power compatibility when using an extension. Store the cable in a dry environment and inspect connectors for debris before connecting.
