Crestron CBL-USB3G1-C-C-6 – USB-C to USB-C Cable, USB 3.2 Gen 1, DisplayPort Alt Mode, 100W, 6 ft

Product Overview

The Crestron CBL-USB3G1-C-C-6 is a 6-foot (1.8 m) USB-C to USB-C cable supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) data transfer, DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output, and 100W USB Power Delivery. It is designed for use with Crestron Flex conferencing systems and other Crestron devices that require a multi-function USB-C connection combining data, video, and power over a single cable. AV integrators use this cable to connect user devices to Crestron Flex table-top or wall-mount conferencing units in huddle rooms and conference rooms.

Product Description

USB-C alternate mode cables allow a single USB-C port to carry USB data, DisplayPort video, and USB PD power simultaneously, which is how Crestron Flex systems connect a laptop or UC device to the AV and UC endpoint. The CBL-USB3G1-C-C-6 provides USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds (5 Gbps) sufficient for AV data transfer and conferencing applications. DisplayPort Alt Mode enables display output from the connected laptop to a conference room display through the Crestron Flex system. The 100W power delivery charges the connected laptop while in use, reducing desk clutter by eliminating a separate charger during meetings. At 6 ft (1.8 m), the cable reaches comfortably from table surface connections to a seated user’s laptop.

FAQs

Is the CBL-USB3G1-C-C-6 Thunderbolt compatible?

No. This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 and DisplayPort Alt Mode, not Thunderbolt 3 or 4. For Thunderbolt-specific connections, a certified Thunderbolt cable is required. Most Crestron Flex applications use USB 3.2 and DisplayPort, which this cable supports.

Does this cable work with any USB-C laptop, or only Crestron Flex systems?

The cable works with any USB-C device that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1, DisplayPort Alt Mode, and USB PD. However, it is specifically specified by Crestron for use with Flex conferencing products and may not deliver all features with every host device or hub.

What is the difference between the CBL-USB3G1-C-C-6 (100W) and the CBL-USB3G1-C-C-9 (60W)?

The 6 ft version supports 100W power delivery, suitable for charging larger laptops. The 9 ft version supports 60W, which charges most ultrabooks and thin laptops but may not fully charge high-wattage workstation laptops at the same rate. Choose based on laptop charging requirements and cable length needed.
