LinkConnect, distributed by Altona, has released the AT-LC-UC2UC-5M, a 5m USB-C to USB-C active cable that is engineered for dependable, point-to-point connectivity in commercial environments.

Atlona is also offering the AT-OME-WP-BKT mounting accessories, designed for surface-mount installation below a meeting table or inside a lectern, desk, credenza or other furniture, avoiding the need for a tabletop enclosure and associated installation costs.

“These accessories share a common theme of providing simple and effective support solutions for professional AV integration,” Altona product manager Tommy Gay says.

“Our active cable prevents reliability issues associated with poor cable connections while maintaining signal integrity for high-resolution content presentation. Our specialised mounting bracket provides our Omega wallplate transmitter customers with an integration option that makes it easy to install these products inside housings or underneath surfaces as desired.”

Featuring a locking USB-C connector, the LC-UC2UC-5M ensures a secure, reliable connection to select Atlona switchers with USB-C inputs for AV, USB data and power.

The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 with data rates up to 10Gbps, DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode with high-resolution video up to 8K@60Hz and 60W pass-through for charging laptops. It also features a copper cable construction and active circuitry to optimise signal integrity from source to destination.

Especially useful inside meeting spaces where installers need to provide connectivity from an AV switcher behind a wall-mounted display, the LC-UC2UC-5M provides a connection point at the meeting table for a presenter’s laptop and pairs well with Atlona’s Pocke 3H AT-PKT-3H tabletop cable access enclosure.

It can also provide the necessary cable length to connect between AV equipment below a long conference table, or within a desk or lectern.
