It actively converts the DisplayPort signal to HDMI format for use in commercial AV systems, supporting resolutions up to 8K\/60 and HDMI 2.1 data rates up to 40.1 Gbps. EDID and HDCP pass through the adapter, so displays and protected sources negotiate normally. No external power is required, which keeps the table or lectern position free of another supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUSB-C laptops are now the default in most commercial meeting spaces, but the installed display base is overwhelmingly HDMI. The USBC-HD 8K bridges that gap without a dongle rattling around in a drawer. It is a purpose-built adapter cable rather than a generic accessory, specified for the resolution and protection requirements that show up in real AV systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSignal support covers HDMI 2.1 features including data rates up to 40.1 Gbps, dynamic HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats. Ultra-wide aspect ratios including 21:9 and 5K are supported, which matters for extended desktop layouts and Microsoft Teams room formats that fall outside standard 16:9 timings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause EDID and HDCP transmission pass through, the connected laptop sees the display's real capabilities and protected content plays as expected. That avoids the common failure mode where a cheap adapter reports a generic EDID and the source drops to a lower resolution, or refuses to output protected material at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo versions are offered: a 6 inch (15 cm) USB-C male to HDMI female pigtail for adapting an existing HDMI cable at the source, and a 6 foot (1.8 m) USB-C male to HDMI male cable for a direct run. Neither requires external power. For deployments that also need USB data and 100 watt charging over the same connection, the Extron USBC ProMax Series active optical cables are the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelated products at Creation Networks: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/extron-usb-c-promax-series-active-usb-c-20-gbps-8k-video-100w-pd-12-3-6-m\"\u003eExtron USBC ProMax Series active USB-C cables\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplayPort Alt Mode conversion\u003c\/strong\u003e — Actively converts DisplayPort Alt Mode output from a USB-C source into an HDMI signal for AV equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8K\/60 resolution support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Handles video resolutions up to 8K\/60 with HDMI 2.1 data rates to 40.1 Gbps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-wide and 5K formats\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports 21:9 and 5K aspect ratios used in extended desktop and Teams room layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDR and Deep Color\u003c\/strong\u003e — Passes dynamic HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEDID and HDCP pass-through\u003c\/strong\u003e — Allows the source to read the display's real capabilities and play protected content correctly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo external power required\u003c\/strong\u003e — Draws what it needs from the USB-C connection, so no supply is needed at the table position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo connector configurations\u003c\/strong\u003e — Available as a 6 in male-to-female pigtail or a 6 ft male-to-male cable to suit the connection point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;width:100%;margin:0 0 1em 0;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;min-width:520px;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:2px solid #ddd;width:38%;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:2px solid #ddd;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtron part number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e26-761-01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eUSBC-HDF8K\/0.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eUSB-C male to 8K HDMI female, 6 in (15 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eNovember 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtron has not yet published a full specification table for this model.
