The Connekt Gear 5m USB 3.1 Gen2 Connector Cable is designed for power users, creative professionals, and tech enthusiasts who require long-distance, high-bandwidth connectivity for data, power, and high-resolution video. By leveraging hybrid optical fiber and Active Optical Cable (AOC) technology, this cable delivers consistent 10Gbps performance and high-wattage charging over a 5-meter span, though it is specifically engineered for USB-C devices and may not be compatible with older legacy standards without appropriate adapters.

Yes, it supports power delivery up to 60W, which is sufficient for many laptops and tablets.
Yes, it is designed to handle data, power, and video signals simultaneously.
While it fits USB-C ports, it is specifically designed for USB 3.1 Gen2. Performance with Thunderbolt protocols may be limited to standard USB speeds.
Standard copper cables suffer from significant signal attenuation and data loss at 5 meters. AOC technology uses light to transmit signals, maintaining speed and stability over that distance.
Yes, as long as your phone has a USB-C port, you can use this for fast data transfer and charging.
Disconnect both ends of the cable and re-insert them firmly. Ensure your device driver is updated and the USB port is set to the correct mode.
Check that the host device's graphics port supports the display resolution and refresh rate requirements of the display. Ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp angle.
Verify that your power adapter or the host port is capable of providing the 60W output required. Using an underpowered charger will result in slow charging.
To ensure optimal performance, verify that both the source device (host) and the target device (peripheral) support the USB 3.1 Gen2 standard. Simply plug the Type-C connectors into the respective ports; the cable is bi-directional and features a reversible design.
Regarding care, although the cable is robust, the internal optical fibers should be handled with standard care. Avoid tight, sharp bends or crushing the cable under furniture, as this can damage the internal components. When not in use, coil the cable loosely rather than wrapping it tightly around small objects to maintain the longevity of the fiber optic core.
