Logitech Group Extended Cable

Logitech GROUP Extended Cable – Detailed Feature Description

The Logitech GROUP Extended Cable is a high-quality connectivity accessory designed to extend the placement range of the Logitech GROUP ConferenceCam system components and is available at Mobihub Electronics kenya. Specifically, it increases the distance between the GROUP Hub and the camera or speakerphone, enabling flexible installation in larger rooms or customized setups. This cable is particularly useful in environments where the standard cable length limits optimal device placement or neat cable routing.

Purpose and Use Case

In standard Logitech GROUP system installations, the camera and speakerphone are connected to a central hub via fixed-length cables. For medium to large conference rooms, these standard lengths may not offer sufficient flexibility. The GROUP Extended Cable addresses this by allowing longer, cleaner, and more adaptable deployments, ensuring that cameras and speakerphones can be positioned where they’re most effective—without signal loss or reliance on external extenders.

This cable is especially useful in:

• Large conference rooms or boardrooms

• Rooms with underfloor, ceiling, or conduit cable runs

• Situations requiring extended distance between hub and AV components

Cable Functionality and Performance

• Extended Length: The cable offers a total length of 10 meters (32.8 feet), significantly longer than the standard 5-meter cable included with the Logitech GROUP system. This allows the camera or speakerphone to be placed farther away from the hub.

• Plug-and-Play Design: The cable uses proprietary mini-DIN connectors identical to those on the original cables, ensuring seamless compatibility without configuration or software adjustments.

• Signal Integrity: The cable is engineered to maintain high-speed, high-fidelity digital signal transmission, allowing full functionality of GROUP components, including HD video, echo-cancelled audio, and control signals.

Build and Materials

• Durable Shielded Construction: Designed for professional AV installations, the cable is built with shielding to prevent signal interference from other electronics or power sources.

• High-Flex Jacket: The outer layer of the cable is made of a flexible yet rugged material, allowing for easier routing through tight or complex spaces such as conduit, raceways, or access panels.

• Strain Relief Protection: Reinforced connectors with molded strain relief reduce wear and extend the life of the cable, especially in permanent or high-use installations.

Installation Flexibility

• Professional-Grade Length: The 10-meter length offers flexibility for room layouts where the speakerphone is placed on a table and the camera is mounted on a wall or display far from the hub.

• Compatible with Standard Cabling Infrastructure: Can be routed through cable trays, beneath flooring, or along walls, making it ideal for clean, professional conference room setups.

• Hub-Specific Connection: One end of the cable connects to the Logitech GROUP hub, while the other connects to either the camera or the speakerphone.
