A 25 ft active optical extension cable delivers 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates through plenum-rated fibre construction
This C2G Performance Series cable extends a USB-A connection up to 25 ft (7.6 m) while maintaining 10 Gbps data throughput. It is built for corporate and educational installations such as meeting rooms and classrooms where standard passive cables cannot reach. The plenum-rated jacket meets fire-code requirements for routing through dropped ceilings or other air-handling spaces. The unidirectional design requires the host end to be connected to the source device.
The active optical fibre core eliminates electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, delivering stable 10 Gbps performance in electrically noisy commercial environments. An integrated USB-C power pigtail on the host-side USB-A connector supplies extra current when the attached peripheral draws more power than the host port can provide. The cable jacket has a 2.17 in (55 mm) minimum bend radius and a 0.35 in (9 mm) diameter for manageable routing.
Standard copper USB cables lose signal integrity well before 25 ft, so this AOC is the upgrade when cameras, interactive displays or docking stations must sit far from the host computer. The jump is worth it for permanent installs in plenum spaces where fire-rated cabling is mandatory and EMI resilience is critical. It is not suited for bidirectional or reversible plug scenarios, nor for devices that require power delivery beyond what the host port and pigtail can supply.

Connect the marked source end to the host computer and the device end to the peripheral; the integrated USB-C power pigtail on the USB-A connector supplies extra power when the attached device needs it.
No scheduled maintenance is required; inspect the 2.17 in bend radius and 0.35 in jacket periodically for physical damage after any building work.
The 25 ft (7.6 m) length is the maximum reach for 10Gbps over this active optical design; signal quality degrades beyond that distance.
