Extron USBC Pro 8K/30 (part number 26-748-30) — at 30 ft (9.1 m) this is the longest cable in the USBC Pro 8K Series, carrying 8K/30 video, USB 2.0 data and 60 W of power in one lead.

Thirty feet of USB-C at full 8K bandwidth is not something copper can do. Extron gets there with a hybrid build in which the four high-speed DisplayPort lanes travel over multimode fibre while copper conductors handle power and USB 2.0. The result behaves like an ordinary cable during installation — plug both ends in and walk away — but performs like an extender system, because the active circuitry is powered by whichever device is connected rather than an external supply. That is one part number instead of a transmitter, receiver and two power adapters.

Key Capabilities

• Four DisplayPort lanes at up to HBR3, for 32.4 Gbps of video bandwidth with MST.
• Resolution to 7680x4320 at 30 Hz, or 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 12-bit colour.
• USB 2.0 at up to 480 Mbps travels with the video on the same cable.
• Bidirectional USB Power Delivery to 60 W, sourced from either connected device.
• Highly resistant to EMI and RFI over the full 30 ft run.
• 0.26 in (6.5 mm) diameter with a 0.79 in (20 mm) bend radius, so it still fits a cable cubby.
• Rated to a 111 N (25 lb) maximum pull strength for conduit installation.

Where It Is Used

Large meeting rooms and boardrooms where the table is well away from the display, teaching walls fed from a lectern, control rooms with high pixel-count monitors, broadcast edit and grading suites, and imaging or simulation environments that need picture, peripherals and charging on one lead.
