Extron UCS SW 313 3x1 4K/60 Collaboration and Presentation Switcher

Product Description

The Extron UCS SW 313 3x1 4K/60 Collaboration and Presentation Switcher is a three-input, one-output collaboration switcher that pairs AV source switching with USB peripheral switching for unified communications and BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) spaces. Its inputs support two HDMI connections with USB and one USB-C connection, while the HDMI output drives displays at resolutions up to 4K/60. The USB-C input carries video, audio, USB data, and up to 60 watts of power over a single cable, simplifying laptop connectivity in commercial meeting rooms.

As a 4K collaboration and presentation switcher, the UCS SW 313 routes up to five USB room peripherals — such as cameras and microphones — to the active source for Microsoft Teams and Zoom meetings. Two USB ports operate at rates up to USB 10Gbps with 5V, 900 mA power, and three ports operate at High Speed (USB 2.0) with 5V, 500 mA power. USB breakaway switching lets HDMI video and audio route to the display independently of the USB data bus, so a dedicated room computer can retain the cameras and microphones while other inputs present content.

Auto-input switching and Show Me cable support make the UCS SW 313 well suited to BYOM and presentation rooms without a dedicated control system, automatically prioritizing connected laptops and reverting to a room computer when a laptop disconnects. The unit also supports ultra-wide and 5K input resolutions and meets Ecofficient Level 1 with a controllable low-power standby mode. The compact 1U, half-rack metal enclosure mounts under a table, in furniture, or in a rack. For rooms that need a DisplayPort input or additional connectivity, consider the Extron UCS 303 three-input collaboration switcher, or browse the full Extron collection at Creation Networks.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What inputs does the UCS SW 313 support?

The UCS SW 313 has three inputs: two HDMI type A connectors with USB and one USB-C connector. The USB-C input carries video, audio, USB data, and up to 60 watts of power over a single cable, while the dual HDMI inputs accommodate additional room sources.

Can the UCS SW 313 run Teams and Zoom meetings without a control system?

Yes. Auto-input switching and Show Me cable support let users connect a laptop and share content with minimal interaction, automatically routing USB cameras and microphones to the active source for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other unified communications platforms in BYOM rooms.

How does USB breakaway switching work on the UCS SW 313?

USB breakaway switching allows HDMI video and audio to route to the display independently of the USB data bus, so a dedicated room computer can keep cameras and microphones connected while other inputs present content to the display.

How is the UCS SW 313 installed and mounted?

The UCS SW 313 ships in a compact 1U, half-rack metal enclosure with an internal power supply. It mounts under a table, conceals within furniture or behind a flat-panel display, or installs in a rack with an optional 1U rack shelf.

How does the UCS SW 313 differ from the UCS 303?

Both are Extron 4K/60 collaboration and presentation switchers with USB peripheral switching. The UCS SW 313 provides two HDMI inputs plus USB-C, while the UCS 303 three-input switcher adds a dedicated DisplayPort input for rooms that require it.

What warranty and support are included?

The UCS SW 313 carries a 3-year parts and labor warranty, and the internal Extron Everlast power supply is covered for 7 years. Creation Networks provides AV system integration guidance and post-sales support; see the Extron collection for compatible accessories.
