Sanwa Direct Releases 100W USB-C Extension Cables for the Extra Meter
The release targets the common desk problem of a USB-C cable that comes up just short, adding a meter of reach without dropping power delivery or video bandwidth.

Sanwa Supply's direct sales site Sanwa Direct has released two USB Type-C extension cables, the straight 500-USB104-1 and the L-shaped 500-USB104-1L, priced at 1,436 yen and 1,527 yen excluding tax. Both add 1m to an existing USB-C cable while supporting up to 100W Power Delivery, 4K/60Hz video output, and 5Gbps data transfer. The lineup is meant to make it easier to place laptops, tablets, USB hubs, and mobile monitors where they are needed.
The two models split by wiring situation. The straight type suits standard connections, while the L-shaped type fits tight spaces such as wall edges and monitor backs. Either plugs into an existing USB Type-C cable to add 1m, and two cables together reach up to 2m. Inside, a triple shield cuts external noise and gold-plated contacts guard against signal loss, so the cable is positioned as more than a simple extender. Sales run through the Sanwa Direct main store plus Rakuten Market, Yahoo! Shopping, au PAY Market, and Amazon storefronts.
