Microconnect MC-USB3.2CA5OP USB-kabel USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) 5 m USB A USB C zwart

The Microconnect MC-USB3.2CA5OP is a 5 m active optical USB cable with USB‑C and USB‑A connectors, designed to extend USB 3.2 Gen 2 connections over longer distances. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is suitable for connecting devices such as printers, scanners, meeting cameras and other USB 3.2 Gen 2 peripherals. Gold‑plated contacts and an active optical design provide stable high‑speed transmission over the 5 m length.

Advantages

The cable offers USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance (up to 10 Gbit/s) in a 5 m active optical form factor that minimizes signal loss. Gold‑plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The USB‑C to USB‑A connection provides compatibility with a wide range of hosts and peripherals, while the active optical construction maintains signal integrity over longer runs than typical passive copper cables.

Suitable for

• Extending USB connections to printers and scanners
• Connecting meeting or conference cameras to a host PC
• High‑speed data transfer between USB 3.2 Gen 2 devices
• Situations requiring a reliable 5 m USB connection with minimal signal degradation

How to use

Connect the USB‑C end to a compatible host or device and the USB‑A end to the corresponding USB port on the other device. Ensure both devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2 to achieve the maximum 10 Gbit/s transfer rate. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and route the cable so it is not pinched or abraded. No external power supply is required for typical peripheral connections; follow device documentation if a specific peripheral requires additional power.

Recommendations

Use the cable for applications that require a stable high‑speed connection over 5 m, such as connecting scanners, printers or meeting cameras. For best performance, pair with USB 3.2 Gen 2 capable devices and avoid exposure to strong electromagnetic interference sources.
