Extron Retractor USB-C - DisplayPort (part number 70-1065-52) — a retractable cable that takes a USB-C laptop straight into a DisplayPort input.

DisplayPort remains the connector of choice on high-resolution monitors, medical displays and many switchers, while laptops have moved to USB-C. This module builds the conversion into the retractable assembly: a male USB-C connector on the tabletop end, a male latching DisplayPort on the equipment end. The latching DisplayPort connector is worth noting — it will not shake loose under the desk. Sources must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode.

Key Capabilities

• Single continuous USB-C to DisplayPort run that extends up to 3 feet (90 cm).
• Maximum video data rate of 10.8 Gbps, or 2.7 Gbps per lane.
• Signal handling for HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.1a.
• Frame rates of 24 through 60 fps with 4:4:4, 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 chroma at 8 bits per color.
• Latching DisplayPort termination on the equipment side resists accidental disconnection.
• Retraction speed set across more than 50 steps between 1.5 and 4.0 seconds.

Where It Is Used

Design and engineering workstations, radiology and pathology reading rooms with DisplayPort diagnostic monitors, control room operator positions, and conference tables feeding a DisplayPort switcher. Extron provides connector labels for USB-C video modules so an AV cable is not mistaken for a charging cable.
