Microconnect USB3.1CA10AMP USB-kaapeli USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) 10 m USB C USB A musta

The Microconnect USB3.1CA10AMP is a 10 m active USB cable with a USB-C plug and a USB-A male connector designed to connect USB-C devices — such as computers, tablets, notebooks, MacBooks, Chromebooks and smartphones — to USB-A peripherals like keyboards, printers, portable hard drives or patch panels. The cable includes a built-in, bus-powered signal booster that preserves signal integrity across the extended length and is backward compatible with earlier USB generations.

Advantages

The active design with an integrated signal booster maintains data integrity over the 10 m distance while drawing power from the USB bus, enabling USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer rates up to 5 Gbps without signal loss. The cable’s USB-C to USB-A configuration and backward compatibility make it suitable for mixed environments with legacy devices. The 10 m length provides extended reach for flexible device placement.

Suitable for

• Connecting a USB-C laptop, MacBook or Chromebook to a USB-A printer or keyboard
• Extending connection to external USB-A hard drives and storage devices
• Linking USB-C tablets or smartphones to USB-A peripherals
• Temporary or fixed installations where devices must be placed up to 10 m apart

How to use

Plug the USB-C end of the Microconnect USB3.1CA10AMP into the USB-C port of your computer, tablet or smartphone. Connect the USB-A male connector to the cable of the USB-A peripheral (for example, a printer, keyboard or external drive). The cable’s bus-powered booster activates automatically when connected; no external power supply or driver installation is required for standard USB operation. Ensure both device ports are securely seated and that any device-specific settings (such as peripheral power or sleep modes) are configured as needed.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments where the total run does not exceed 10 m and avoid tight bends or kinks. For stable high-speed transfers, connect directly to host ports rather than through unpowered hubs. Verify device compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the maximum 5 Gbps rate; the cable remains compatible with older USB standards at lower speeds.
