LightWare C-PopUp-10RN Built-in USB-C cable management tool for desks with retraction support

Product Overview

The Lightware C-PopUp-10RN is a desk-integrated USB-C cable management unit with retraction support. It provides a clean, managed USB-C connection point for conference tables, training room desks, and presentation surfaces — keeping the cable retracted and protected when not in use and ready for immediate connection when a device is placed on the table. Available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) conference environments depend on clean, reliable connectivity at the table surface. The C-PopUp-10RN installs into a standard desk cutout and presents a USB-C connector that retracts automatically when released, eliminating cable clutter between meetings. The retraction mechanism prevents cable tangling and floor-drop damage — two of the most common causes of cable failure and replacement in high-use meeting rooms.

The unit connects to Lightware UCX or compatible AV-over-USB-C infrastructure, passing USB 3.1 data, video (DisplayPort Alt Mode), and power delivery through the cable to a laptop. For rooms using Lightware's unified communication extender ecosystem, the C-PopUp-10RN is the table-surface connection point that completes the chain from desk to display and camera.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of USB-C does this support — just charging or full AV?

The C-PopUp-10RN supports Full-Featured USB-C, which includes USB 3.1 Gen1 data, DisplayPort Alternate Mode for 4K60 video, and Power Delivery. It is not a charging-only or data-only product.

How does the retraction mechanism work?

The cable is spring-retracted. When a laptop is disconnected, the cable retracts back into the desk unit automatically. A pull-stop mechanism prevents over-retraction.

Is this compatible with non-Lightware UCX systems?

The connector carries standard USB-C signals, so basic USB data and charging will function with any USB-C device. For 4K video via DP Alt Mode, the receiving end must support that protocol — typically a Lightware UCX receiver in designed deployments.

What desk cutout dimensions are required for installation?

Refer to the Lightware C-PopUp-10RN installation guide for exact cutout dimensions. Contact Creation Networks for documentation.

How many units can be installed in a single conference table?

Multiple units can be installed per table, one per seat position or collaboration zone. Each unit is independent and connects to the AV infrastructure via its own USB-C cable run.

Is the retraction mechanism rated for commercial use frequency?

Yes. Lightware designs the C-PopUp series for commercial meeting room use where connections and disconnections occur multiple times per day across years of deployment.
