Tripp Lite Eaton Long 16ft USB C Extension Cable 5 Gbps (U330-05M-C2C-C)
Standard USB-C runs run out of reach quickly across a conference room or classroom floor. We built this active extension cable to stretch your connection without dropping throughput. An integrated signal booster keeps peripherals talking cleanly back to the host computer across the whole span.

- LONG USB-C EXTENSION CABLE: Extend an existing USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 cable by 5 m (16.4 ft) beyond USB's standard distance limitations. Ideal for connecting devices in classrooms, conference rooms, and other applications where additional reach is required.

How this one is built
Active booster circuitry
Passive cables lose their grip on high-speed data over distance. The built-in booster rebuilds the signal along the run, keeping webcams, drives, and interfaces connected without drops or lag.
Optional power port
Some setups run fine on bus power alone, but heavier gear wants juice. A dedicated side port accepts a feed from your external power delivery charger to pass current through to the connected hardware.
Peripheral support
Plug in webcams, microphones, external drives, or card readers across the room. The female connector takes your existing cord, so you do not have to replace the short patch cables you already own.
Legacy equipment compatibility
Newer hosts talk to older gear through the same run. The cable steps down to match earlier USB revisions smoothly, letting you mix older peripherals into a modern workspace without hunting for adapters.
