USB-C 4.0: High-performance connectivity – reliable in any orientation
USB-C has become the universal interface for modern devices. Combining high data rates, power delivery and video transmission in a single connection, the standard offers a wide range of applications – from industrial PCs and high-speed cameras to modern cabling solutions.
With its USB-C 4.0 portfolio, Telegärtner provides high-performance solutions for applications where speed, flexibility and reliable connectivity are essential.
USB-C Extender: Reliable connectivity, whichever way you plug it in
A particular challenge arises when USB-C patch cords are connected via a coupler: conventional USB-C couplers do not reliably support both plug orientations. If the connector is rotated by 180 degrees, data transmission may not work.
Telegärtner’s USB-C Extenders eliminate this issue. They operate reliably regardless of the connector orientation, allowing the USB-C plug to be inserted either way. This makes installation easier and ensures reliable connectivity.
The extenders are available in STX and Keystone versions, as well as in single and double configurations with lengths ranging from 0.5 to 2 metres. The double version allows two USB-C patch cords to be connected to a single extender, saving valuable installation space.
High data rates for demanding applications
USB-C 4.0 supports data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbit/s, making it suitable for data-intensive applications. At the same time, data, power and video can be transmitted via a single, universal interface.
USB-C 4.0 also offers significant advantages in industrial environments. In machine vision applications, the patch cords support the transmission of 8K video and high frame rates. In industrial PCs and manufacturing systems, data and power can be supplied through a single connection, helping to reduce cabling and enable compact, modular system designs.
