INOGENI U-BRIDGE USB-C 4K Extender
The INOGENI U-BRIDGE USB-C 4K Extender carries USB 2.0, DisplayPort Alternate Mode video, Ethernet, and laptop charging over one CAT6A U/FTP link. The Original model supports one display at up to 4K60, while the DUO adds two HDMI outputs for a dual-display extended desktop at up to 4K30 per screen.
This host-and-device extender simplifies BYOM, meaning Bring Your Own Meeting, in conference rooms, classrooms, and collaborative workspaces. It connects a laptop at the table to a distant videobar, camera, speakerphone, network, and room display. Select the Original for a single-display USB-C conference room or the DUO for a dual-monitor BYOM installation.
Both variants use HDBaseT 3.0 and support UVC/UAC camera and audio interfaces, 100W laptop charging, and IP management. USB devices operate at USB 2.0 speeds through the standard link. Installations requiring SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 can add a separate U-BRIDGE 3 extender through the dedicated USB3-EXT connections.
