Extron USB-C AVPD 101 AAP (part number 70-1241-02) — a passive single space AAP module from Extron's USB-C 100 Series that brings one USB-C connection to the table and carries video, data and charging power on the same cable.

There is no processing here and that is the point: a USB-C female socket on the plate runs to a USB-C male plug on a 3 ft (0.91 m) captive lead, so the run stays a straight electrical path with nothing to configure or fail. Video travels as DisplayPort Alt Mode over DP 1.2, up to four lanes and 21.6 Gbps, which supports 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz. Data rides alongside at up to 5 Gbps under USB 3.2 Gen 1, and the module passes USB Power Delivery up to 60 watts at 3 A — enough to keep a presenter's laptop charged through a long session.

Key Capabilities

• 4K video support to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz via DisplayPort Alt Mode
• 21.6 Gbps maximum video data rate, 5.4 Gbps per lane

Where It Is Used

Conference tables, huddle rooms, classroom instructor positions and lecterns built around bring-your-own-device presenting. It is the standard way to give a visiting laptop one cable that handles the display, the room's USB peripherals and charging at once, without a dongle sitting loose on the table.
