Extron USBC- HDF8K/0.5 (part number 26-761-01) — a 6 in (15 cm) USB-C to 8K HDMI female adapter cable for dropping USB-C sources straight into an HDMI signal chain.

Laptops, tablets and other DisplayPort Alt Mode devices rarely terminate in HDMI, which leaves integrators improvising when a USB-C source needs to feed an existing HDMI input, extender or switcher. This short pigtail solves that at the wall plate or table box: a male USB-C plug on one end and a female HDMI jack on the other, built with active circuitry that converts the DisplayPort signal to HDMI on the fly. Because the connector is female, it becomes a permanent adapter point for a standard HDMI cable run rather than a one-off patch cable.

Key Capabilities

• USB-C male to 8K HDMI female adapter, 6 in (15 cm) length
• Supports 8K/60 video plus 4K/120 and ultra-wide 5K formats
• HDMI 2.1 data rates up to 40.1 Gbps with HDR and 12-bit Deep Color
• Passes EDID, HDCP and audio between source and display
• No external power needed — draws power from the connected USB-C port
• Gold-plated contacts resist tarnish for a reliable long-term connection

Where It Is Used

The 26-761-01 is built for table boxes, floor pockets and AV racks where a USB-C laptop needs to hand off into a fixed HDMI infrastructure — huddle rooms, classrooms and BYOD conference spaces where the display side stays HDMI.
