INOGENI U-BRIDGE USB-C — Full USB-C extender for modern meeting rooms
The INOGENI U-BRIDGE USB-C is a purpose-built HDBaseT extender designed for modern BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) conference rooms. It extends full USB-C functionality — including USB 2.0, DisplayPort Alternate Mode, power delivery, and Ethernet — up to 70 m (230 ft.) over a single CAT6A U/FTP cable, maintaining uncompressed 4K60 video quality. The two-module system (Device + PC Host) connects a laptop in the meeting room to a USB-C videobar, CODEC, or room display at the far end. Compatible with Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, and leading UC hardware from Cisco, Logitech, Poly, Lenovo, and ClickShare, it is the ideal infrastructure upgrade for medium- to large-sized conference rooms and boardrooms requiring clean, cable-managed BYOM connectivity.
True Full-Bandwidth USB-C Extension
The U-BRIDGE USB-C extends the complete USB-C protocol stack — USB 2.0 data (up to 480 Mbps), DisplayPort Alternate Mode for uncompressed video, and power delivery — all over a single CAT6A U/FTP cable via proven HDBaseT technology. Unlike solutions that only carry video or only carry USB, this single cable run handles every signal a modern laptop needs in a conference room. In practice, a presenter walks in, plugs one USB-C cable into their laptop, and instantly gains access to the room camera, microphone, speaker, display, and network — exactly the frictionless BYOM experience end users and IT managers expect in enterprise meeting spaces.
4K60 Uncompressed Video at Distance
Using HDBaseT 3.0 technology, the U-BRIDGE USB-C carries an uncompressed DisplayPort video signal and outputs it as 4K60 HDMI 2.0b (HDCP 2.3 compliant) on the Device module — reaching 40 m (132 ft.) at 4K60 and 70 m (230 ft.) at 1080p60. Advanced video processing supports both 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, ensuring colour-accurate output for content-sharing and presentation use cases. Rooms that previously required a dedicated PC or media player near the display can now be served from a single laptop connection at the table, eliminating cable clutter and reducing hardware cost.
100W Laptop Charging Over a Single Cable Run
A dedicated USB-C charging port on the PC Host module, powered by the included international power supply, delivers up to 100W to the connected laptop. The Host module itself is powered via PoE from the Device module over the CAT6A link — so no local power outlet is needed at the table end. For end users this means a single USB-C connection at their seat simultaneously extends all AV and USB functionality while keeping their laptop fully charged throughout a long meeting. Installers benefit from a tidy, power-managed deployment that avoids exposed power cables at the table.
Integrated Ethernet for Full Network Access
The Device module includes a dedicated 10/100 RJ45 LAN port and supports DHCP or static IP configuration, bridging the room network to the laptop over the same CAT6A cable that carries USB and video. This is especially valuable in enterprise environments where IT requires laptops to be on a wired network for VPN, security policy, or low-latency UC traffic — without running a separate Ethernet cable to the table. The result is a single-cable table connection that satisfies AV, power, and IT networking requirements simultaneously.
Broad UC Platform & Device Compatibility
INOGENI has tested and certified the U-BRIDGE USB-C with a wide range of USB-C videobar and CODEC systems, including Lenovo Core Gen 2, Cisco Room Bar Pro, Cisco Room Kit EQ, Poly G62, Logitech MeetUp 2, and Barco ClickShare CX50 Gen 2. On the software side it is compatible with Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, Google Meet, Webex, and other major UC platforms. The Device module's dual USB-A 3.0 ports (plus the USB-C port) can simultaneously connect a videobar, a speakerphone, and an additional peripheral — making it suitable for complex room configurations without additional hubs. Plug-and-play operation on Windows, macOS, and Linux eliminates driver management across mixed-fleet deployments.
Expandable to USB 3.2 Gen 1 via U-BRIDGE 3
When SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) connectivity is required — for example, with high-frame-rate PTZ cameras or USB 3.0 storage — both modules include a USB3-EXT port (USB-B on the Device side, USB-A on the Host side) that allows daisy-chaining an INOGENI U-BRIDGE 3 unit. This makes the U-BRIDGE USB-C a forward-compatible platform: rooms can be installed with the USB-C extender today and upgraded to USB 3.0 throughput later without replacing the core infrastructure. It keeps the AV design clean and the installation investment protected as room technology evolves.
Professional Build with 5-Year Warranty
The U-BRIDGE USB-C is housed in compact, professional-grade aluminium enclosures for both modules, supplied with mounting brackets for under-table or rack-adjacent installation. USB-C and HDMI connectors feature lock screws to prevent accidental disconnection in high-traffic environments. LED indicators on both modules show power and charging status at a glance. Made in Canada and TAA-compliant, the product is backed by INOGENI's 5-year manufacturer warranty — an above-industry-standard coverage that lowers long-term support risk for integrators and their end customers alike.
