Crestron CBL-4K-USBC-HD-12 – Active Converter Cable, USB-C to HDMI, 18 Gbps, 12 ft

Product Overview

The Crestron CBL-4K-USBC-HD-12 is a 12-foot active converter cable that connects a USB Type-C source device directly to an HDMI display or input. Supporting 18 Gbps TMDS bandwidth and resolutions up to 4K60 4:4:4, it enables laptop and device connections to conference room displays and AV systems without a separate adapter or converter box.

Product Description

The CBL-4K-USBC-HD-12 is a one-way directional active cable with a USB-C male connector at the source end and an HDMI Type-A male connector at the sink end. It draws power from the USB-C port of the connected source device and requires no external power supply. The cable supports HDCP 2.2 content protection and passes HBR audio and EDID for full AV compatibility. Double shielded 28 AWG conductors provide signal integrity across the 12-foot run, and sculpted ABS connector boots with PVC strain relief make it durable for frequent use in bring-your-own-device (BYOD) meeting environments.

FAQs

Can the CBL-4K-USBC-HD-12 be connected in reverse (HDMI source to USB-C display)?
No. The cable is directionally active — the USB-C end must connect to the source device and the HDMI end to the display or HDMI input. Reverse connection will not work.

Does the CBL-4K-USBC-HD-12 require a driver or separate power?
No separate power supply is needed. The cable draws power directly from the USB-C port of the connected source device. No driver installation is required on the host computer.
