USB Type C - Optical USB-C Cable, 3.2, 4K60, 10Gbps, PD. A hybrid cable transmits part of the data through optical fibers (light signals) and another part through copper wires. The advantage of such an active-optical cable is the much longer transmission distance that can be achieved, as light signals are much less susceptible to interference than electrical signals. Furthermore, hybrid cables are lighter and have a smaller diameter compared to pure copper cables. USB-C is becoming increasingly popular. In addition to tablets and smartphones, the standard is also used as a video and charging cable for workstations. USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) is limited to short distances, but with the hybrid cable, longer distances are now possible. With this cable, you can connect your notebook to a USB-C monitor and charge your device simultaneously with up to 60W, provided the monitor supports this feature. Alternatively, connect your workstation to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 docking station and take advantage of features like SDXC card reader, USB hub, HDMI output, RJ-45 LAN adapter, and much more. Note: Not all devices with a USB-C interface support 60W fast charging (PD), video signal transmission (DP Alternate Mode), or data transfer of 10 Gbps (SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps). Please check with your device manufacturer for this information. Not suitable for Thunderbolt 3 docking stations.
