Logitech Strong - USB cable - USB Type A (M) to USB-C (M) - USB 3.1 - 10 m - plenum, Active Optical Cable (AOC) - for Room Solution Huddle, Large

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £252.10 ex-VAT for a 10m USB-A to USB-C active optical cable, this is absolutely a “right tool for a specific job” purchase. The upside is straightforward: long-distance USB without the reliability roulette you get from passive cables. The “plenum” bit also matters in real deployments (not just offices), so if you’re running through a managed building environment for a Logitech Room Solution Huddle large set-up, this is the kind of cable that prevents the most annoying symptoms—intermittent disconnects, camera drops, flaky pairing—especially where the run is longer than what typical office cables can tolerate.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this for a generic desk use case. If you don’t specifically need 10m, and don’t have the installation constraints that justify plenum, it’s hard to see it as good value versus cheaper alternatives. Also worth flagging: active optical cables tend to be “install it and forget it,” but you don’t want to be constantly swapping endpoints—so make sure your routing and equipment placement are final before you spend. Buy this if you’re installing/servicing a proper Room Solution Huddle large deployment with a long, fixed run; skip it if it’s just “we need a USB-C cable to reach a bit further.”
