USB Cables

The Extron USBC Pro Series of active, hybrid optical-copper USB‑C® cables simultaneously transmits USB data up to 5 Gbps, DisplayPort AV, and power over distances up to 30 feet. The cables are also compatible with previous USB standards. These full-featured cables support 4K/30 video and audio on two DisplayPort lanes. In addition, these cables support bidirectional USB Power Delivery of up to 60 watts. The ultra-flexible, 0.26" (6.5 mm) thin diameter and narrow bend radius cable construction allow for installation in tight spaces. These active cables are unidirectional and can draw power from either connected USB device. The USBC Pro Series cables are ideal for transmitting data at USB rates of 5 Gbps.

The USBC Pro Series offers the benefits of fibre optics with the simplicity of traditional copper cables. Providing the best combination of price and performance, this cabling solution is ideal for sending USB data, AV, and power signals over long cable runs while maintaining full signal integrity and providing reliable operation to support mission-critical applications.

For easy identification and cable orientation, a blue-coloured ring encircles the host connector neck and connector ends are moulded with descriptive text to indicate source and display directionality.

Comparable SM Series Show Me® cables are available. Show Me cables feature an integrated button on the source connector and a three-conductor pigtail on the opposite end to enable source selection when used with a switcher having contact closure remote control.

• Supports USB data rates up to 5 Gbps
• USB Power Delivery up to 60 watts - Supports various voltage profiles up to 20 volts at 3 amps, thus able to charge a range of devices.
• Transmits 4K/30 DisplayPort video and embedded audio signals - Compatible with DisplayPort Alt mode-capable USB‑C host devices, the unidirectional USBC Pro Series cables transmit DisplayPort video and embedded audio signals from the host to the connected display device over two DisplayPort lanes.
• New Multi-Stream Transport - MST support - The cable supports MST, which allows multiple monitors to be operated simultaneously from a single USB‑C source output.
• Supports pass through of EDID and HDCP-encrypted signals
• Ultra-flexible, ultra-thin 0.26" (6.5 mm) diameter cable - Narrow bend radius facilitates easier installation and reduces possibility of cable damage.
• No external power is needed - Built‑in active circuitry is powered by either end, eliminating the cost of an external power supply.
• Bidirectional USB power flow - When connected to USB devices that support USB PD, power flows both ways, enabling host or peripheral to provide power to the far-end device.
• Highly resistant to EMI/RFI Interference - The USBC Pro Series can be used in high-interference environments, such as data centres and manufacturing facilities.
• Gold-plated contacts - Contacts will not tarnish, maintaining a long-lasting, reliable electrical connection.
• Colour-coded and labelled ends - A blue ring around the neck of the host connector and moulded text provide visual identification for cable orientation.
• Backwards compatible with previous USB standards
• Available in lengths from 12 feet to 30 feet (3.6 meters to 9.1 meters)
