Extron USBC Pro 8K/25 (part number 26-748-25) — a 25 ft (7.6 m) active USB-C cable that delivers 8K/30 DisplayPort video, USB 2.0 data and 60 W power over a distance copper alone cannot manage.

Twenty-five feet is where the argument for fibre becomes obvious. A hybrid optical-copper build lets this cable hold four DisplayPort lanes at HBR3 the whole way, while integrated copper carries power and USB 2.0 signalling. For the integrator that means one pre-terminated part between a floor box or lectern and a large-format display, instead of a transmitter, a receiver, a Category cable and two power supplies. Built-in circuitry is powered by the connected devices, so nothing extra needs to be plugged in.

Key Capabilities

• 32.4 Gbps of DisplayPort Alt Mode bandwidth over four lanes, with Multi-Stream Transport.
• Supports 7680x4320 at 30 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and 8-bit colour.
• Carries USB 2.0 traffic at up to 480 Mbps alongside the video.
• USB Power Delivery to 60 W in either direction, sourced from either end.
• Highly resistant to EMI and RFI, useful in machine rooms and production spaces.
• 0.26 in (6.5 mm) diameter with a 0.79 in (20 mm) bend radius for tight terminations.
• Colour-coded, direction-labelled ends and gold-plated contacts.

Where It Is Used

Boardrooms and divisible conference spaces with distant displays, auditorium lecterns, broadcast control positions, simulation and training labs, and imaging suites where a high pixel-count monitor sits well away from the workstation driving it.
