Extron Retractor XL DisplayPort (part number 70-1066-07) — a five foot retractable DisplayPort drop with latching connectors at both ends.

DisplayPort is the native output on most workstations and the native input on most high-resolution monitors, so a straight DisplayPort run avoids conversion altogether. This module stores one continuous cable inside the Cable Cubby and presents a male latching DisplayPort connector at the surface. The extended XL travel means the connector still reaches a source at the far end of a wide desk, and both terminations latch, which matters on a cable that gets pulled several times a day.

Key Capabilities

• Latching DisplayPort at both ends of a continuous run extending up to 5 feet (152 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 from 24 to 60 fps with 4:4:4, 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 chroma at 8 bits per color.
• Retraction speed adjustable across more than 50 steps between 1.5 and 4.0 seconds.
• Tested to exceed 7,500 cycles; three-year parts and labor warranty includes the cable.

Where It Is Used

Engineering and design workstations, control room consoles, imaging review positions with DisplayPort diagnostic monitors, and large conference tables feeding a DisplayPort switcher. Vertical installation needs roughly 30 inches (76.2 cm) of clearance below the furniture.
