Adaptive USB-C 3.2 Gen2 Active Optical Cable - 5M
KanexPro CBL-AOCUSBC-05M — full-featured USB-C 3.2 Gen2 AOC, adaptive DP 2.1/USB 3.2 10Gbps, PD 60W, 5 meters (16 ft.). Plug-and-play, no firmware, 3-year…
KanexPro Adaptive USB-C 3.2 Gen2 Active Optical Cables are the first full-featured USB-C AOC solution that simultaneously delivers DisplayPort video, USB 3.2 10Gbps data, and PD 60W charging over runs of 5, 10, or 15 meters. An embedded switching chip automatically selects the optimal lane configuration — no firmware, no configuration, completely plug-and-play. In 2-lane mode: DP 1.4 video + USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps data + PD 60W charging simultaneously. In 4-lane mode: DP 2.1 (4-lane) for maximum display bandwidth + USB 2.0 + PD 60W. GGP fiber construction enables a 2mm static bend radius with 5-core optical + 12-copper hybrid in a 6.5mm diameter cable — EMI-immune, flexible, and backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1. Backed by KanexPro's 3-year warranty.
- Adaptive mode: auto-selects 4-lane DP 2.1 + USB 2.0, or 2-lane DP 1.4 + USB 3.2 10Gbps based on device needs
- PD 60W (20V/3A) charging in both modes — video, data, and charging simultaneously
- DP 2.1 (4-lane) supports up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz; DP 1.4 (2-lane) up to 4K@60Hz
- USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps data transfer (2-lane mode); backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1
- Supports 4-lane DP 2.1 and USB 2.0
- Supports 2-lane DP 1.4 and USB 3.2 10Gbps
- GGP fiber — 2mm static / 20mm dynamic bend radius; 5-core optical + 12-copper hybrid; 6.5mm OD
- EMI/RFI immune; attenuation less than 0.0035dB/m; pull resistance 100N/200N
- Plug and play — no firmware, no configuration; zinc-alloy connector shell
- Operating temperature 0 to 50 degrees C; storage -40 to 70 degrees C

Questions
- What does the cable carry?
- USB-C 3.2 Gen2 full-featured: in 4-lane mode DisplayPort 2.1, USB 2.0 and PD 60W; in 2-lane mode DisplayPort 1.4 with 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2 data.
- What resolutions does it support?
- 8K@60Hz in 4-lane mode and 4K@60Hz in 2-lane mode.
- How much power can it deliver?
- PD 60W, at 20V/3A.
- What is the data rate?
- 10Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen2, in 2-lane mode.
- Does it need a separate power supply?
- No. It is a full-featured active optical cable with zinc-alloy shells at both ends.
- How tightly can it be bent and how hard pulled?
- 20mm dynamic and 10mm static bend radius, 100N long-term and 200N short-term pull. The cable is 6.5mm in diameter with a black PVC jacket, 5 metres (16 ft.) long.
- The display comes up at a lower resolution than expected.
- The cable adapts between 4-lane and 2-lane modes. 8K@60Hz needs 4-lane; in 2-lane mode the ceiling is 4K@60Hz with 10Gbps of USB data.
- The laptop is not charging through it.
- Power delivery is 60W at 20V/3A. A laptop asking for more than 60W will not charge at full rate over this cable.
- What is it built from?
- Five-core GGP optical fibre with twelve copper conductors, attenuation under 0.0035dB/m.
- What temperature range does it tolerate?
- 0 to 50 degrees C operating, -40 to 70 degrees C storage.
