Plan the Mounting Layout and the Complete Connection
Locking USB-C Extension Cable
Bring a connection point to a more accessible position, or route it through an equipment panel, with a layout designed around the enclosure. The BC-DAC029 range offers eight USB-C male-to-female configurations, combining locking male plugs with cable-end or panel-mount female connectors.
The mechanical options help you plan retention, service access, and cable direction. Electrical approval is a separate step: a USB-C plug-to-receptacle extension is an application-specific, non-standard cable topology, not a USB-IF-certifiable cable assembly. Review it as part of the complete host-to-device connection.

A short extension can still change USB-C connection behavior. Adding a receptacle may affect orientation detection, high-speed lanes, cable identification, and safe power negotiation. A successful data test alone does not establish safe charging or display operation.
Send the host and device models, every cable in the proposed route, required functions, and mounting drawings. We can review the requested configuration and sample plan. If a direct connection is possible, compare our locking USB-C cables before adding an extension.
Cable-End Female Connector Options
These configurations use a female cable-end receptacle and a locking male plug. Choose the male-end screw arrangement and exit direction to match the equipment. Mechanical fit does not remove the need to validate the added extension in the complete system.
BC-DAC029-SS
A straight USB-C male plug with one locking screw connects to a female receptacle at the cable end. Select this layout for equipment with the matching single-screw mount. Review the complete connection before approving data, display, or power requirements.
BC-DAC029-SD
This straight male-to-female assembly uses dual screws at the male connector. Match the two-hole pattern and engagement depth to your equipment. The female end remains a cable-end connection; add appropriate support so the joined cables do not load the port.
BC-DAC029-RS
A right-angle male plug with one locking screw changes the cable route at the equipment. The other end is a cable-end female receptacle. Confirm orientation at the mating face and check clearance around adjacent connectors before approving the sample.
BC-DAC029-DD
The up-angle male connector combines dual screws with an upward cable exit and pairs with a cable-end female receptacle. Use the drawing to confirm the actual direction in your installation. Specify the routed length and both connected cable sections for review.
Panel-Mount Female Connector Options
These versions include mounting holes in the female receptacle so you can secure it to a panel. Match the cutout, panel thickness, and hardware to the drawing, then treat the internal extension and external cable as a single electrical path.
BC-DAC029-PSS
A panel-mount USB-C female receptacle connects to a straight male plug with one locking screw. This layout separates the accessible panel connection from the secured internal connection. Confirm the cutout and mounting hardware, along with the complete electrical route.
BC-DAC029-PSD
Choose this panel-mount female-to-straight-male version when the internal equipment uses a dual-screw USB-C mount. Check panel thickness, connector projection, and access to both retention screws. Approve the selected length with the external cable and connected devices.
BC-DAC029-PRS
The panel-mount female port is paired with a right-angle male plug and one locking screw. It offers a different internal routing direction for space-limited enclosures. Verify the angle and screw access on the actual equipment before confirming the assembly.
BC-DAC029-PDD
This panel-mount configuration uses an up-angle male plug with dual screws. Check the upward exit against internal components, and leave the cable path unstressed. The panel mount provides positioning; full-system data and power approval remains a separate requirement.
Bring the Female Connection to the Panel
A panel-mounted receptacle makes equipment connections easier to reach and support. Its cutout, mounting-hole spacing, and connector projection must match the enclosure. The panel also needs enough room behind it for the housing, cable bend, and service access.
Use the selected model drawing as the reference and include panel thickness in the inquiry. The mounting holes position the female connector; they do not provide waterproofing or automatically lock a plugged-in cable.
Match the Locking Plug to the Equipment
A locking screw is useful only when the equipment provides the corresponding mounting point. Compare the selected male connector with the equipment drawing: screw position, thread engagement, housing clearance, and the direction of the cable exit all matter.
A straight plug can suit an open route, while an angled version may help the cable clear a nearby wall or component. Check the installed orientation from the mating face, not from the product name alone. Share a port photograph and a marked-up drawing so the quotation covers the layout you actually need.
No. Locking is a mechanical feature. A USB-C plug-to-receptacle extension is not a defined USB-IF-certifiable cable assembly. Testing it in one equipment configuration does not turn it into a universally compliant cable or establish compatibility with unrelated devices.
Not necessarily. Panel-mount hardware secures the receptacle to the panel; it doesn’t automatically retain the external mating plug. If the external connection also needs locking, provide the mating connector and retention requirements for a separate fit review.
No. Confirm the camera and host interfaces, required data rate, power demand, cable route, and software. A USB-C connector does not establish a machine-vision protocol or guarantee camera compatibility. Evaluate the exact system under its intended capture workload.
There is no universal guarantee. Total channel length, connectors, cable construction, and the connected equipment affect operation. Review the extension with the existing cable; don’t add the two lengths and assume the original speed rating still applies.
No. Those functions depend on the host, device, lane use, external cable, and power negotiation. Specify the combined workload and request an evaluation of the complete configuration. A successful check of one function is not evidence that all three operate simultaneously.
Use the drawing and hardware specifications for the exact panel-mount model. Provide the panel thickness, cutout, and available thread engagement for review. Do not apply a single panel-thickness range or tightening torque to every connector variant.
Send a complete connection diagram, host and device models, all cable lengths, required data/display/power functions, mounting drawings, and quantities. Add any environmental or inspection requirements. Confirm feasibility, sample availability, MOQ, and lead time for the reviewed configuration.

How to Evaluate a Locking USB-C Extension in an Enclosure
Moving a USB-C port to a panel can simplify access, but it also adds a connector and cable section to the signal and power path. A good specification therefore covers the complete connection, not just the extension part number.
Draw the whole connection
Identify the host, device, power source, external cable, and internal extension. Include any dock or adapter. Record which component sources power and which receives it. USB-C roles can change with the equipment, so a connector diagram alone is not a complete electrical specification.
Define the required functions independently
State the USB data rate, display mode, and charging requirement separately. A setup that transfers files is not automatically approved for high-current charging or monitor use. Include the target display resolution and refresh rate, and whether USB data is needed at the same time. Do not inherit the connected cable label as a rating for the longer assembled path.
Review the control and power path
Have the engineering review cover CC continuity and role detection, PD negotiation, VBUS behavior, and visibility of cable-current or electronic identification information. The extension must not create a misleading current capability or an unsupported source-to-source connection. These checks are more important than simply confirming continuity of the power conductors.
Fit the connector to the panel
Check the female connector cutout, hole spacing, panel thickness, and access to hardware. At the male end, confirm screw placement, thread engagement, and cable direction. The drawing for the selected model should control these dimensions. Seat the plug before tightening the locking screws, and follow the approved tightening requirements.
Test the configuration you will actually supply
Evaluate the final route with the intended external cable, host, device, and power source. Check relevant plug orientations, reconnection, device power, and required data or display operation. Include the environmental and mechanical conditions that matter to your project. Retain the tested combination as the approved system configuration rather than extending the result to every USB-C device.
Where possible, compare a direct locking USB-C cable or a properly designed active interface before introducing an extension. For a panel requirement, also review our USB-C panel-mount family, with the same complete-system selection discipline.
Send the connection diagram, mounting drawings, required functions, length, and quantity for a configuration review and quotation. This gives us a useful starting point for discussing an assembly and sample plan instead of guessing from a port photograph alone.
