The Barco ClickShare USB-C Extension over CAT kit pairs TX and RX boxes to carry USB 2.0 and DisplayPort over standard CAT cable, so the Control Panel or a laptop can sit away from the Hub. The Hub powers both boxes on the Control Panel link, and wired laptop sharing reaches 4K at 30Hz. Suited to boardrooms, lecture halls and hotel rooms in Doha and Lusail. Request a quote.
A wired link that keeps the Hub out of sight
This kit is a matched pair of boxes, a TX unit and an RX unit, that carry USB 2.0 and DisplayPort signals over ordinary CAT network cable. That lets you put the ClickShare Control Panel, or a presenter's laptop, well away from the ClickShare Hub, which can stay in a comms cabinet or rack. Each box has a USB-C port that handles DisplayPort and USB 2.0, plus an RJ45 socket used only for HDBaseT transmission between the two boxes. The socket carries no Ethernet traffic.
Signal limits, cable lengths and power by link
The figures change with the link you run, so check them against your room layout before ordering:
- Hub to Control Panel: up to 1080p at 60Hz over Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a or Cat 7.
- Hub to laptop, wired sharing: up to 4K at 30Hz over the same cable types.
- Cable length, Control Panel link: up to 60m on Cat 5e or Cat 6, and up to 70m on Cat 6a or Cat 7.
- Cable length, laptop link: up to 35m on Cat 5e or Cat 6, and up to 40m on Cat 6a or Cat 7.
- Power: the Hub powers both boxes on the Control Panel link. On a laptop link the Hub powers the RX box and the laptop powers the TX box.
The product overview quotes a 40m reach over standard CAT 5e or higher, which differs from the longer figures in the specification table. Confirm the exact route length and cable category with the SmartRooms Qatar team before cabling.
Where it fits in Qatar
In a boardroom in West Bay, the Control Panel can sit at the table while the Hub stays in a cabinet elsewhere on the floor, which keeps the table clear of cables. In a lecture theatre at Education City, a presenter's laptop can connect at the lectern over a wired link, giving the lecturer a wired option alongside wireless. In a hotel conference room in Lusail, a ceiling or wall-mounted RX box can serve a control point near the stage while the Hub sits in the back-of-house equipment room.
Planning the cable run and the enclosure
Each box measures 122 x 152 x 34 mm and weighs 333g (TX) and 315g (RX). Mounting holes are built in for desk, ceiling or wall fixing, and screws are included. The operating range is 0 to 40°C at up to 85% humidity, non-condensing, while Qatar summers can exceed 45°C. A closed cabinet or hot ceiling void can push the boxes beyond that range, so plan ventilation for the enclosure before fixing the units. The kit includes two 1.2m USB-C to USB-C cables, so check distances from each box to its devices.
The kit carries a 1-year warranty from the manufacturer. For a boardroom or lecture hall, a free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar lets the team check the route, the enclosure and the cable category before anything is ordered or fitted.
