In the USB category, LANBERG focuses on standards compliance and predictable, repeatable performance. This extension uses the USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 v1) specification, which provides:

• data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps – enough for fast file transfers, work with external SSDs and efficient operation of modern peripherals,
• support for charging up to 100 W (with compatible USB Power Delivery chargers), allowing you to power not only mobile devices, but also many ultrabooks and docking stations from a single USB-C power source.

The USB Type-C interface used here is fully backward compatible with earlier USB categories. In practice, this means the LANBERG cable will cooperate with both new and older devices, reducing the risk of unpleasant surprises in the field. For an installer it is one less variable to worry about; for the end user it simply means the cable works as expected in typical office and home scenarios.

With a signal cable, what you don’t see is often just as important as what you do. In this LANBERG model, the cores are made from tinned copper with AWG 32 + 24 wiring. This provides a good balance between flexibility and low conductor resistance – the USB signal remains stable and voltage drops are kept under control, which is crucial for both reliable data transfer and higher-power charging.

Gold-plated contacts in the USB-C connectors minimise oxidation and ensure a stable electrical connection even after many plug-in cycles. For installers this means fewer service calls related to “intermittent” cables; for end users – dependable operation when devices are connected and disconnected multiple times a day.

The whole assembly is protected by a durable PVC outer jacket, resistant to everyday bending, abrasion and accidental snagging around the desk or in a rack cabinet. The compact 0.5 m length helps to keep cable routing tidy, avoids unnecessary loops and reduces the risk of tangling with other wiring. Both plug and socket are shaped to fit firmly into USB ports, while still allowing a comfortable grip when disconnecting the cable in tight spaces.

As a result, this LANBERG USB-C extension cable is a practical and robust choice for installers and end users who need a simple, reliable way to bring a USB-C port closer and offload mechanical wear from the built-in connectors in their devices.
