Extron has announced the introduction of the UCS 601, a new Pro 4K USB-C dock that connects USB-C laptops to HDMI displays, supports up to three USB devices, and provides stated data rates of up to USB 10 Gbps.
The HDMI output is engineered to support resolutions up to 4K, while the USB-C input handles video/audio, USB data, and can also charge the user’s laptop with its integrated 60-watt power supply. It’s suited for platforms such as Teams, Zoom, and other UC applications.
“With USB cameras, microphones, and other peripheral devices becoming more common in small huddle spaces, we are always looking for innovative ways to streamline the meeting experience for end users,” says Casey Hall, chief marketing officer for Extron. “The UCS 601 Pro 4K USB-C Dock leverages the full power of USB-C connections by providing a single connection for video, USB data, and power for USB-C laptops. This takes small collaboration spaces with local and remote users to a new level.”
The UCS 601 is designed to automatically connect laptops to the room’s display and USB cameras or other room devices. As laptops are disconnected, the display will automatically go into standby mode. It is housed in a compact one-quarter rack width 1-in (2.5-cm) metal enclosure and can be mounted within furniture or under a table using the included ZipClip 200 mounting accessory or in an equipment rack using an optional rack mounting shelf.
