Extron USBC ProMax/12 (part number 26-759-12) — a 12 ft (3.6 m) active USB-C cable that carries 8K DisplayPort video, USB data at up to 20 Gbps and 100 W of power delivery at the same time.

What separates the ProMax from the rest of the range is lane negotiation. The cable decides on its own whether to hand four high-speed lanes to video for 8K with USB 2 data, or split them two and two for 4K video alongside USB at 10 Gbps. An integrated eMarker tells the connected devices exactly what the cable can do, so power and data negotiation settles correctly instead of falling back to a lowest common denominator. With 100 W of Power Delivery on tap, one cable can run a display, a camera and a charging laptop.

Key Capabilities

• Automatic 2-lane or 4-lane DisplayPort Alt Mode configuration depending on the USB data demand.
• Up to 32.4 Gbps of video across four HBR3 lanes; 16.2 Gbps in the two-lane mode.
• USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 at up to 20 Gbps, backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.
• USB Power Delivery to 100 W, enough to charge laptops as well as mobile devices.
• Multi-Stream Transport lets one USB-C output drive more than one monitor.
• Integrated eMarker reports cable capability for safe, efficient negotiation.
• 0.30 in (8 mm) jacket with a 0.91 in (23.4 mm) bend radius.
