The Turtle AV USB-C 4K60 and USB 2.0 Extender Kit consists of a host (transmitter) and device (receiver) extender that together extend 4K60 4:4:4 USB-C video and USB 2.0 signals over a single CAT6a cable run, covering 40 metres at 4K60 and 70 metres at 4K30. The host extender connects to a USB-C source device and provides a 100W USB-C charging port for simultaneous laptop power. The device extender connects to the room display via HDMI 2.0b and provides a USB-C device port plus three USB-A ports for up to four USB 2.0 peripherals, all connected back to the source over the same CAT cable. HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, 8/10/12-bit colour, HDCP 2.3, and all major audio formats pass transparently. Power over Cable from the host eliminates a second PSU at the receiver.
