Kramer has launched a new range of labelled USB-C Cables to streamline Pro AV system installation and maintenance for integrators and end-users.
Kramer’s introduction of new 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C cables features icons that indicate their ability to support video, data, and charging, eliminating the guesswork for integrators and end users.
The new C-U32/MFF USB 3.2 Gen 2 SuperSpeed+ passive cables provide bidirectional plug-and-play connectivity for the delivery of 4K@60 4:4:4 video and fast data transfer between PC, Mac, and mobile-compatible devices, including monitors, web cameras, printers, scanners, keyboards, and other devices.
The new range, featuring Kramer’s K-Lock connectivity, offers transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps (between USB 3.2 hosts and devices) and rapid 100W power (5A, 20V) charging that maintains powered devices.
Kramer’s K-lock connectors offer up to 5 pounds of pull resistance against accidental disconnections. The cables are made of micro coaxial wires with triple shielding to help prevent electromagnetic interference and ensure reliable data communications. The cable construction provides greater flexibility for easy manipulation, giving a significant advantage for the user experience.
“Here at Kramer, we are always looking to improve efficiency with intuitive, user-friendly product design,” said Brooke Ellingworth, VP sales, Kramer EMEA. “This latest USB-C icon labelling system allows both Integrators and end-users to see, at a glance, that they have the right cable to deliver the required data, video and charging — safe in the knowledge that the connectivity is secure from cable strain mishaps.”
The Kramer cables feature USB backward compatibility (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0), are RoHS REACH compliant, and are available in 6, 10, and 15 feet, or 1.8, 3, and 4.6 metres, respectively.
