USB Type-C Extension Cable
Bring a USB-C connection within reach and choose a cable exit that suits the space around your equipment. The BC-DAC025 series offers four male-to-female configurations for planned extensions and service access points.
- USB-C female to straight, side-angle, up/down-angle, or U-shaped USB-C male.
- Lengths: 0.3m, 0.6m, 1m, and 1.8m.
- Up to 10Gbps USB data; confirmed power rating: 60W (20V/3A).
- 4K at 60Hz video capability with compatible equipment and a suitable complete connection.
- Black PVC molding and jacket, with gold-plated connector shells.
Send your host, connected device, existing cable, and required route so we can review the extension as part of your installation.
USB Type-C Extension Cable Specifications and Selection
USB Type-C Extension Cable with Four Connector Directions
A cable that’s too short, or a port tucked behind an enclosure, can make an otherwise straightforward installation awkward to service. The BC-DAC025 USB Type-C extension cable adds a female connection point while offering straight, side-angle, up/down-angle, and U-shaped male connectors. Select the direction around the actual device, then choose the shortest practical extension for the route.
Specifications for the BC-DAC025 Series
| Item | Available configuration | Selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Interfaces | USB-C male to USB-C female | An extension, not a protocol converter |
| Male connector | Straight / left-right angle / down-up angle / U-shape | Confirm the exit direction with a drawing or photo |
| Lengths | 0.3m, 0.6m, 1m, 1.8m | Include the existing cable when evaluating total length |
| USB data | Up to 10Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen 2 | Link rate depends on host, device, and complete cable assembly |
| Power rating | 60W, 20V/3A | Actual charging depends on source and device negotiation |
| Video | Up to 4K at 60Hz with compatible equipment | Video-capable ports and the complete connection must support the mode |
| Molding and jacket | Black PVC | Other construction requests require review |
| Connector shell | Gold plated | No plating thickness or certification is implied |
The listed data, power, and video figures describe capabilities to match your application; they do not promise that every host, dock, display, and main-cable combination will achieve all maxima simultaneously. This series is not a 5A or 240W extension.
Choose the Exit Direction, Not Just the Connector Name
The straight version is useful when you have clearance directly behind the socket. The two 90-degree versions route the cable in different planes. The U-shaped version returns the cable alongside the equipment, but its housing must clear the device edge or protective case. A reversible USB-C plug does not remove the need to check housing clearance.
Left, right, up, and down can be interpreted differently when a device is rotated. Mark the preferred route on a photograph showing the port, adjacent connectors, and enclosure. For a direct male-to-male connection without an extension joint, compare our straight and angled USB Type-C cables.
Make the Service Connection Easier to Reach
An extension can move routine plugging to a more accessible socket. In a demonstration station, desktop fixture, or equipment enclosure, that can make cable replacement easier and reduce how often the built-in port is handled. It does not guarantee a longer device-port life: an unsupported extension can still transmit pulling force or leverage to that port.
Provide cable support, avoid a tight bend at the molding, and leave enough room to disconnect the plug without pulling on the wire. Where the accessible socket must be fixed to a panel, review a panel-mount construction rather than leaving a free socket to carry installation loads.
Match Data, Charging and Video to the Complete Connection
For storage or other USB peripherals, check that the host port and device support the required USB data rate. A 10Gbps link rate doesn’t guarantee file-copy speed; storage, controllers, and other traffic affect throughput. The correct designation here is USB 3.2 Gen 2, not the 20Gbps Gen 2×2 mode.
For charging, the confirmed assembly rating is 60W at 20V/3A. The extension cannot increase the power supplied by a low-power source, and the connected device may draw less than the cable rating. Use a suitable charger and main cable, and check charging stability in the intended arrangement.
For a display, confirm that the source supports video output through USB-C and that the receiving display or adapter accepts that signal. A USB-C data-only port won’t output video because of the extension. If display connection is the main requirement, compare our USB-C monitor cable options for a direct route.
Specify a Repeatable OEM Assembly
Start with the connector model, length, and intended function. For an equipment build, also provide host and device references, main-cable details, a clearance sketch, and the expected installation quantity. We can review custom length, identification, and packing requirements against the selected construction.
A useful sample check includes physical fit, both plug orientations where applicable, stable device detection, the required data or display mode, and charging behavior. Keep the approved model and connection arrangement in the purchasing specification so later orders are compared against the same reference.

Four Connector Directions for Your Installation
Keep the USB-C female connection accessible by choosing a male connector that fits the space around your equipment port. Match the model code, housing direction, and extension length before ordering.
P/N: BC-DAC025-S
Use the straight male connector where the device has clear space behind its USB-C port. Position the female end where a user or technician can reach it, and allow a relaxed cable route. Specify the main cable and required function when reviewing the extension length.
P/N: BC-DAC025-R
Route the cable sideways from a confined port using the left/right-angle male connector. Check neighboring sockets and define the viewing direction with a photo. The female end provides the extension connection; choose its position and cable support as part of the installed layout.
P/N: BC-DAC025-D
Choose the up/down-angle version when the cable needs to leave the socket in the other bend plane. Compare the housing, brackets, and covers in their installed positions. A marked photograph helps distinguish this model from a side-angle connector before ordering the sample.
P/N: BC-DAC025-U
The U-shaped male connector returns the cable alongside the equipment for a compact route. Check the return gap against the device edge and any protective case; a close-fitting shape doesn’t automatically fit every enclosure. Select the extension length after checking that clearance.
Compare Connector Footprints and Cable Exits
The connector drawing compares housing shapes and cable-exit directions. Use it alongside a photo of the installed port to review space near covers, brackets, and adjacent plugs. Include room for the cable bend and for inserting or removing the connector.
Share your layout if the connection sits inside an enclosure. We can review the connector arrangement and length before you commit to a production quantity.
Do not plan a chain of extensions on the assumption that each retains the advertised capability. Extra cable and contacts affect the complete path. Send the required total route so we can review a suitable single assembly or an alternative arrangement.
First, confirm operation with the original direct connection. Then compare the extension length, main cable, power source, and required data or display mode. Test without additional adapters and check both plug orientations. Provide the equipment details and observed behavior so we can review the issue against the actual connection.
No. Sharing the USB-C connector shape doesn’t guarantee Thunderbolt performance or certification. A compatible port may operate in a supported USB mode, but a Thunderbolt-specific device or dock needs a connection qualified for that use. Tell us the required protocol, not only the socket type.
It can be considered for a fixed installation after checking fit and function. Support the cable so the device socket does not carry its weight or external pulling force. This is not a locking, waterproof, or continuous-flex connection unless a separately reviewed construction provides those features.
Provide the model or marked connector photo, length and measurement reference, quantity, intended devices, and operating mode. Include any identification or kit-packing requirements. We can then review the construction and sample scope instead of quoting a cable that fits the connector but misses the installation requirement.

Planning an Accessible USB-C Service Point
The best place for a connection isn’t always the equipment’s port. In a display station or enclosed workstation, an extension can bring that connection forward without moving the device. Plan the service point around the person who must use it and the cable that must reach it.
Separate access from load support
Choose a location with room to insert and remove the plug by hand. Provide a supported route back to the equipment; don’t let an accessible female socket hang where an accidental pull could load the original port. If you need a rigidly mounted socket, consider a panel-mount assembly.
Keep a simple connection path
Record the length and model of both the extension and the existing cable. Avoid adding another adapter merely to correct an angle that can be specified at the male connector. Fewer connection points can simplify installation and fault isolation, although the intended setup still needs a functional check.
Approve the installed arrangement
A bench connection with an open cover may not reveal an obstructed socket or pinched cable. Check the sample with covers, brackets, and adjacent leads in place. Include normal start-up, reconnecting the device, and the required workload in the acceptance check.
Make repeat orders easier
Keep a photograph, model code, agreed length reference, and equipment list with the approved sample. If the host, dock, or main cable changes, review that change rather than assuming the earlier result applies. This gives purchasing and assembly teams a clear reference without relying on a vague description such as a short angled USB-C extension.
