Extron USB CFG Cable (part number 26-654-06) — a 6 ft (1.8 m) USB Type A male to USB Mini Type B male cable for configuring and updating Extron hardware.

Almost every Extron product with a front-panel CONFIG port expects this cable, and it is the one item that goes missing from a service kit first. Six feet is enough to reach from a laptop on a rack shelf down to a device mounted a few units below, so firmware can be loaded and configuration pushed without unracking anything. It is a plain wired cable with no drivers, no adapters and nothing to configure itself.

Key Capabilities

• Compatible with any Extron product that has a USB configuration port.
• Terminated USB Type A male at the computer and USB Mini Type B male at the device.
• Supports configuration and firmware updates through a front-panel CONFIG port.
• 6 ft (1.8 m) length reaches across a rack bay without unracking equipment.
• Well suited to permanently mounted products that cannot be moved for service.
• A standard item for integrator commissioning and service kits.

Where It Is Used

Commissioning and firmware maintenance of Extron switchers, scalers, control processors, distribution amplifiers and extenders in equipment racks, lecterns, ceiling mounts and wall boxes, wherever the device stays in place and the technician brings the laptop to it.
