swegltek USB-A to USB-C Active Optical Cable | 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen2 | 5–50m
Short description
Place compatible USB-C equipment where your workflow needs it. The swegltek SUAC-3100 USB-A to USB-C active optical cable supports USB 3.1 Gen2 data rates up to 10Gbps, with lengths from 5m to 50m for machine vision, remote monitoring and external storage installations. Connect the USB-A HOST end to your computer and the USB-C DEVICE end to your peripheral.
Key features
- Up to 10Gbps USB data: connect compatible USB 3.x equipment through an active optical link. Actual transfer speed depends on the host, peripheral and application.
- Long-distance placement: select a 5–50m USB optical cable for equipment layouts that need more reach.
- USB-A host to USB-C device: clearly defined ends simplify installation.
- Reversible USB-C plug: insert the Type-C connector in either orientation.
- Optical data transmission: suitable for installations where electrical interference is a concern.
- Important compatibility requirement: USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices are not supported.
Long USB-C device connections for practical installations
The swegltek SUAC-3100 connects a USB-A computer host to a compatible USB-C peripheral over an active optical cable. Its fiber-based data link supports up to 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen2 signaling, making it a practical option for placing cameras, storage devices and other supported USB equipment away from the workstation.
Match the cable to your equipment
Use this USB-A to USB-C AOC with equipment that supports the required USB 3.x data connection. For the highest available speed, both endpoints must support 10Gbps. A USB-C connector alone does not guarantee compatibility; check the device's USB data requirements before ordering.
Applications
- Machine vision: connect a compatible USB-C inspection camera to a USB-A computer.
- Remote monitoring: position supported USB equipment away from the operator workstation.
- External storage: access a compatible USB-C drive or enclosure from a USB-A host; check the peripheral's power requirements.

FAQ
Does this cable work with USB 2.0 devices?
No. The SUAC-3100 does not support USB 2.0 or USB 1.1. Check the actual USB mode used by your device, even if it has a USB-C socket.
Can I use either end at the computer?
Use the USB-A end at the host and the USB-C end at the device. Follow the HOST and DEVICE markings.
Does it deliver 10Gbps in every setup?
10Gbps is the maximum signaling rate. Actual throughput depends on both connected devices and the workload.
Is this a USB-C video or PD fast-charging cable?
This product is offered for USB data connections. Video output and USB Power Delivery fast charging are not specified features.
Can it power my device?
The specification lists 5V at up to 800mA. Check the peripheral's requirements and the power available from your host, especially for long cable runs. Do not assume suitability for high-power devices.

Product Details
Everything you need to know about this product.
Extend USB-C Video to a DisplayPort Display
The swegltek SCTD-1200 USB-C to DisplayPort active optical cable connects a compatible USB-C video
source to a DisplayPort monitor, projector or professional display. Its integrated cable design provides a
direct display connection for equipment layouts that need more distance between the source and screen.
4K Video at 60Hz
Support for video up to 4K at 60Hz makes this USB-C to DP cable suitable for clear presentations, digital
signage and professional visual content. The supported resolution and refresh rate depend on the source,
display and complete system configuration.
DisplayPort 1.2 Optical Transmission
With DisplayPort 1.2 support and link bandwidth up to 21.6Gbps, this active optical cable uses fiber for
high-speed signal transmission along the cable run. The bandwidth rating describes the DisplayPort link;
this product is intended for display connectivity.
Length Options from 5m to 50m
Choose a 5m, 7.5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 25m, 30m, 35m, 40m, 45m or 50m USB-C to DisplayPort cable to suit
the installation route. Allow for cable routing, connector access and equipment position when selecting
your length. Contact swegltek for project quantities or other length requirements within the 5–50m range.
Designed for Professional Display Installations
Conference rooms: connect compatible USB-C presentation sources to DisplayPort displays.
Digital signage: place compatible media source equipment farther from the screen.
Workstations: position the computer away from the display area.
AV installations: plan longer point-to-point video and audio cable routes to compatible DP equipment.
Check Your USB-C Video Output
Connect the USB-C end to a source that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and the DisplayPort end to the
display input. A USB-C connector alone does not guarantee video output. Confirm source and display
compatibility, installation direction and power requirements before ordering.
