Extron Retractor XL USB-C Pro 8K (part number 70-1066-56) — 8K-capable USB-C on a five foot retractable run for rooms where the display is demanding and the table is long.

The XL chassis stores more cable than the standard housing, giving a 5 foot (152 cm) pull without giving up bandwidth. This is the red ring cable: DisplayPort Alternate Mode over four HBR3 lanes, which is what supports 7680x4320 at 30 Hz and a 32.4 Gbps ceiling. Device charging up to 60 watts runs on the same connector. Its USB data channel is specified at USB 2.0 rates, so pair it with a dedicated USB module where peripheral throughput matters.

Key Capabilities

• 8K video at 7680x4320 and 30 Hz, 4:4:4 chroma, 8 bits per color.
• 4K options include 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 12-bit color and 3840x2160 at 120 Hz.
• DP 1.4 over 4 lanes at up to HBR3 for a 32.4 Gbps maximum video data rate.
• Up to DisplayPort 1.4 with HDCP 2.3; frame rates from 24 to 120 fps.

Where It Is Used

Large executive boardrooms with very high resolution displays, visualisation and simulation labs, colour-critical design studios, broadcast review desks and medical imaging reading rooms. The extra travel suits deep tables and tiered seating where the source sits far from the enclosure.
