Extron UC Cables are high-performance, male-to-male cable assemblies specifically engineered for connecting Extron Universal Controllers (UC Series) to AV equipment, control systems, and peripheral devices in professional installations. These cables support reliable RS-232, IR, digital I/O, and power connections, ensuring seamless communication and power delivery between the controller and controlled devices.

These cables address common integration challenges by providing pre-terminated, plug-and-play solutions that reduce on-site wiring time and eliminate the risk of improper pinouts or signal degradation. They maintain full signal integrity over typical installation lengths, supporting baud rates up to 115.2 kbps for RS-232 and accurate IR command transmission without interference.

Constructed with high-quality shielded cable and molded connectors, UC Cables feature robust strain relief and gold-plated contacts for long-term durability and corrosion resistance in high-traffic environments. Available in standard lengths with various connector combinations, the series includes options for captive screw, DB9, Phoenix, and IR emitter terminations to match common Extron UC Series ports and device interfaces.

Primary applications include under-table or wall-mounted controller setups in conference rooms, classrooms, boardrooms, training facilities, and control rooms. They are ideal for connecting UC controllers to projectors, displays, switchers, amplifiers, lighting controls, shades, or other RS-232/IR-enabled devices where clean, professional cabling is required for reliable system operation.

Compatibility focuses on Extron UC Series Universal Controllers (UC 400, UC 500, and variants) and their associated control ports (RS-232, IR, digital I/O). The cables integrate directly with Extron's control ecosystem, supporting standard pinouts for Extron devices while remaining versatile for third-party equipment using common serial and IR interfaces. They pair well with Extron UCM 100 mounts, under-table enclosures, and cable management solutions for complete hidden control installations.

Installation is straightforward: select the appropriate UC Cable length and connector type for the application, connect one end to the UC controller port, route the cable neatly to the target device, and secure the other end to the equipment's control port. The molded design and shielding minimize electromagnetic interference, while the captive screw or Phoenix options ensure secure, vibration-resistant connections in rack or furniture-integrated setups.
