Faracent AJAS-198 USB-C Extension Cable, 6 ft, 4K@60Hz, 2-Pack

Need more reach between a USB-C device and its cable? The Faracent AJAS-198 extends a USB-C connection by 6 ft (1.8 m), helping keep a laptop, tablet, or other device within comfortable reach while it charges or syncs.

Each cable has a USB-C male-to-female connection, so you can extend an existing USB-C cable rather than replace your setup with a single longer cable. The set includes two black extension cables for separate workspaces or devices.

For video setups, the cable supports output up to 4K at 60Hz between a USB-C laptop and a USB-C display. Its dual-layer nylon braid and aluminum-alloy connectors add a durable, flexible build for everyday indoor or outdoor use.

Highlights

The extension format is useful when the cable you already use does not quite reach a desk, couch, or convenient charging spot. Connect the male end to your device’s USB-C port and the female end to a USB-C cable. That arrangement can make it easier to position a device while it remains connected, without changing the rest of your setup.

Use it for USB-C charging and data connections, or for a compatible laptop-to-display setup. The stated video capability is up to 4K at 60Hz. For video, the manufacturer recommends keeping the combined length of this extension and the connected USB-C video cable within 10 ft for best charging and 4K video performance.

Buyers highlight the cable’s useful reach and versatility for different setups. Feedback on compatibility, connectivity, and durability is mixed, so the key choice is whether a USB-C extension fits the devices and connection type in your setup. If you need more reach while keeping an existing cable, this extension offers a different approach from replacing that cable with a longer one.

Getting the most from it

Match the connection to the task: this is a USB-C male-to-female extension, not a standalone cable with a plug at each end. For data transfer, connect it to USB-C devices and cables that support the intended use. The supported data rate depends on the connected equipment, keeping the cable path direct helps make setup straightforward.

The extension is not compatible with Thunderbolt 3 docks or hubs, including Dell Thunderbolt docking stations, or with the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and GoPro cameras. If your setup relies on one of those products, choose a connection designed for that equipment instead. A solid pick if you want extra USB-C reach for charging, syncing, or a compatible display connection.

Usage tips

For a laptop and USB-C monitor, connect the extension between the laptop and the USB-C video cable, then keep the combined cable length within the manufacturer’s recommended 10 ft for best video performance. For charging or syncing, use the same male-to-female arrangement to extend the reach of your existing USB-C cable. The second cable can serve another compatible setup, such as a separate desk or device.

The braided construction supports a flexible cable run, while the metal-alloy connectors are suited to regular connection and disconnection. Route the cable where it can reach without being pulled taut, especially when a device is moved during use.

Should you buy it?

Choose the Faracent AJAS-198 when your main need is added reach for USB-C charging, data connections, or a compatible USB-C display setup. The 6 ft length, two-cable pack, and male-to-female design make it practical for extending existing connections across more than one location. For a straightforward way to position a USB-C device farther from its cable connection, this extension keeps the setup flexible while supporting video output up to 4K at 60Hz.
