Extron USBC Pro/12 (part number 26-741-12) — a 12 ft (3.6 m) active hybrid optical-copper USB-C cable carrying 4K/30 DisplayPort video, SuperSpeed USB at 5 Gbps and up to 60 W of power.

This is the workhorse of the Extron USB-C optical range: enough video for a 4K display at 30 Hz, enough USB bandwidth for a camera or dock at 5 Gbps, and enough Power Delivery to keep a laptop charged, all on one lead that behaves like an ordinary cable. Two DisplayPort lanes are dedicated to video while the remaining capacity carries USB 3.2 Gen 1 traffic. The active circuitry is powered by whichever device is connected, so there is no wall wart to hide and no extender chassis to rack.

Key Capabilities

• DisplayPort Alt Mode 1.4 over two lanes, 16.2 Gbps of video bandwidth, MST supported.
• Resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 30 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and 12-bit colour.
• USB 3.2 Gen 1 SuperSpeed data at up to 5 Gbps, backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.
• Bidirectional USB Power Delivery to 60 W, drawn from either connected device.
• 0.26 in (6.5 mm) diameter with a 0.79 in (20 mm) bend radius.
• Highly resistant to EMI and RFI over the full run.
• Colour-coded, direction-labelled ends: a blue ring marks the host connector.

Where It Is Used

Huddle rooms and small conference spaces, USB-C table boxes feeding wall displays, classroom teaching positions with a camera and microphone on the same cable, reception and wayfinding displays, and laboratory or clinical desks that combine a monitor, dock and charging on one port.
