Eaton U420F-7P5M Tripp Lite USB C Fiber Active Optical Cable 25 ft 8K 60Hz
The Eaton U420F-7P5M is a 7.5 m (24.6 ft) USB-C to USB-C full-function active optical cable designed to carry high-speed data, digital video, and USB Power Delivery over a long-distance connection. Its fiber optic construction supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates up to 10 Gbps while supporting USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for high-resolution video.
8K Video and High-Speed Data
The U420F-7P5M supports video resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz and 3840 x 2160 at 144 Hz, with HDR, HDCP 2.2, and uncompressed 4:4:4 chroma support. For data connections, USB 3.2 Gen 2 provides transfer rates up to 10 Gbps when the connected equipment supports the required standard.
USB-C Power Delivery
The cable supports power output up to 20V/3A (60W), allowing compatible USB-C equipment to receive power while data and video signals are carried through the same connection. The actual charging capability depends on the connected host, device, and power source.
Active Optical Construction
Unlike a conventional copper USB-C cable, the U420F-7P5M uses fiber optic construction for its 7.5 m length. This makes it suitable for longer USB-C connections where high-speed data and high-resolution video need to travel between equipment positioned farther apart.
Key Features
- USB-C male-to-male full-function active optical cable
- USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer up to 10 Gbps
- Supports up to 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz
- HDR, HDCP 2.2, and 4:4:4 chroma support
- Up to 60W USB Power Delivery output
DC Supplies Product Note
The 24.6 ft length makes the U420F-7P5M particularly useful when a USB-C display, camera, touchscreen, or other peripheral needs to be positioned well away from the computer. Because it is an active optical cable, verify that the source supports USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode when video is required.
Applications
- USB-C desktop and laptop connections
- High-resolution USB-C monitors and displays
- Video conferencing cameras and equipment
- Touchscreen displays and smartboards
- Digital signage and professional AV installations
- USB-C storage and other high-speed peripherals
