swegltek USB 3.1 Gen2 A to C Active Optical Cable | 10Gbps Screw Lock USB-C | 5–50m
Short description
Connect compatible industrial USB equipment over longer distances with the swegltek SSAC-3100 USB A to C active optical cable. Combining optical data transmission with copper conductors for device power, this directional cable supports USB 3.1 Gen2 data rates up to 10Gbps and cable lengths up to 50 meters. A screw-lock USB-C device connector provides mechanical retention when used with matching mounting points.
Key features
- Up to 10Gbps data: USB 3.1 Gen2 bandwidth for compatible host and device connections. Actual throughput depends on the equipment and application.
- Up to 50m reach: plan a longer USB cable route between your computer and compatible industrial equipment.
- Data and device power: the hybrid optical and copper construction supports power delivery up to 5V / 900mA, subject to host power and device demand.
- No external power adapter required for a compatible setup within the specified power limits.
- Screw-lock USB-C connector: two retaining screws for devices with matching mounting points. Check spacing and clearance before ordering.
- Directional connection: USB-A at the host, USB-C at the device. USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 are not supported.
Position equipment around your workflow
A machine-vision camera or industrial USB device may need to sit far from its host computer. The SSAC-3100 long USB A to USB C cable gives you more freedom to plan the cable route around inspection benches, workstations and fixed automation equipment.
Optical data with integrated device power
This USB active optical cable combines fiber for data transmission with copper conductors for power. It supports a maximum specified supply of 5V / 900mA to compatible equipment, helping installations where a separate device-side power connection is inconvenient. Check the host's power capability and the peripheral's requirements for your selected length.
Screw-lock connection at the device
The USB-C device end includes two retaining screws. On equipment with matching threaded mounting points, these secure the connector mechanically. Confirm the screw spacing, thread compatibility and space around the USB-C port. The USB-A host end uses a straight male connector.
Choose a cable length
Available lengths: 5m, 7.5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 25m, 30m, 35m, 40m, 45m and 50m. Measure the cable route and allow space for connectors before selecting a length.
Compatibility and installation
Connect USB-A to the host and USB-C to the compatible device. Use a host and device capable of the required SuperSpeed USB link; a USB-C socket alone does not establish compatibility. This model does not support USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 peripherals. Follow the peripheral manufacturer's driver and software requirements. Verify connection, data operation and power before completing cable installation.

FAQ
Which end connects to the computer?
The USB-A end connects to the host computer. The screw-lock USB-C end connects to the compatible peripheral. This is a directional cable.
Does it support USB 2.0 devices?
No. The product specification explicitly excludes USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 compatibility. Confirm the device's actual USB interface before ordering.
Does it require an external power adapter?
The specification states that no external adapter is required and lists device power up to 5V / 900mA. The host must supply adequate power and the connected device must operate within the supported limits. Check the power budget for the chosen equipment and cable length.
Will the locking screws fit any USB-C device?
The retaining screws require matching mounting points and sufficient clearance around the port. Verify the device drawing or provide its model before ordering.
Is this a full-featured USB-C video or laptop charging cable?
The documented functions are USB data and power up to 5V / 900mA. DisplayPort Alt Mode, USB Power Delivery fast charging and Thunderbolt support are not specified. Do not select it for those functions without separate confirmation.
Can it be installed on a moving robot arm?
Robotics is listed as an application area, but bend-cycle, torsion and drag-chain ratings are not supplied. Confirm the mechanical requirements before using it in a continuously moving cable route.
What is included?
One SSAC-3100 USB-A to screw-lock USB-C active optical cable in the selected length. Other equipment shown in application images is not included.

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.
