LinkQnet SCFC-3420 10m USB3.2 Gen 2×1 USB Type-C Active Optical Cable with DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery
Long-distance USB, Video and Power Through One Unidirectional Cable.
The LinkQnet SCFC-3420 is a unidirectional 10m USB Type-C active optical cable designed to carry high-speed data, DisplayPort Alt Mode video and USB Power Delivery over an extended distance. Its adaptive lane allocation supports either four-lane DisplayPort 2.1 with USB2.0 or two-lane DisplayPort 1.4 with USB3.2 at up to 10Gbps, allowing compatible devices to select the appropriate operating mode. In four-lane mode, the cable supports up to 8K @30Hz without DSC or 8K @60Hz HDR with DSC; two-lane mode supports up to 4K @60Hz without DSC or 4K @120Hz HDR with DSC. The optical design helps resist EMI and RFI, while 60W Power Delivery, Plug-and-Play operation and clearly labelled Source and Display connectors simplify installation.
