Description
The Atlona LinkConnect AT-LC-UC2UC-5M is a 5 meter USB-C active cable designed to deliver data, video, and power over a single connection. It provides USB 3.2 Gen 2 compatibility for data rates up to 10 Gbps and supports USB Power Delivery up to 100 watts. This cable is engineered to maintain signal integrity in commercial AV environments through active circuitry and robust construction.
Key features include DisplayPort Alt Mode support for high-resolution video up to 8K at 60 Hz, USB Power Delivery to 100 watts, and a locking USB-C connector to secure connections. The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 and USB 2.0 concurrently and offers 1 Gbps Ethernet pass-through. A nickel-plated connector and PVC jacket improve durability in installed applications.
Performance specifications include a 10 Gbps bandwidth for high-speed USB data and simultaneous support for USB 2.0 at up to 480 Mbps. DisplayPort Alt Mode enables 4K at 60 Hz over two lanes or 8K at 60 Hz over four lanes depending on device capability. The cable diameter is 5.3 mm with a bend radius of 31.8 mm to facilitate routing in meeting rooms and classrooms.
Connectivity options include USB-C to USB-C terminations with locking connectors, Ethernet pass-through at 1 Gbps, and support for common surround audio formats via the DisplayPort link. The cable is compatible with Atlona Omega Series and other products that accept USB-C for AV, data, and power. It is intended for point-to-point connections between sources and displays where combined AV and power delivery are required.
Typical applications include conference room AV installs, huddle space setups, and classroom AV where a single-cable connection simplifies deployment. The locking connector prevents accidental disconnection and reduces service calls caused by unreliable cable seating. The active copper design helps maintain high-frequency signal integrity over the 5 meter distance.
Installation is straightforward – the cable plugs into USB-C ports and maintains transparent pass-through of video, data, power, and Ethernet as supported by connected devices. The construction balances flexibility and ruggedness for commercial AV use and meets the electrical and video requirements stated by Atlona. Overall, the LinkConnect 5 m USB-C cable streamlines AV connections while supporting modern USB-C power and video standards.
