USBExt3c simplifies deployment and management of USB-based collaboration systems across modern meeting environments
BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Acroname announces the USBExt3c, the industry's first managed USB-C extender, designed to simplify and scale bring-your-own-meeting (BYOM) collaboration across modern meeting environments. USBExt3c helps integrators and IT teams implement high-performance USB-based collaboration systems more efficiently, reducing deployment complexity and long-term operational costs.
USBExt3c delivers consistent, high-quality meeting experiences across huddle rooms, conference rooms, and large collaboration spaces by providing centralized visibility and control of connected USB peripherals, helping reduce service calls and enabling meetings to start on time.
"Reliable connectivity starts with an infrastructure that is easy to set up and manage," said Matt Krugman, General Manager and CTO at Acroname. "USBExt3c brings the visibility and control teams need to create dependable meeting experiences while cutting down on the challenges that can occur in USB-based setups."
"USBExt3c demonstrates how Valens' HDBaseT-USB3 extension technology enables scalable collaboration environments," said Gili Friedman, SVP, Head of Cross-Industry Business at Valens Semiconductor. "Together with Acroname, we're helping integrators simplify deployments while delivering reliable USB 3.2 connectivity across a broad range of collaboration applications."
As organizations standardize on USB-based conference systems, complexity and operational overhead continue to increase. Built on Acroname's AnyPort™ intelligent USB-C technology, USBExt3c allows each port—and the extender itself—to dynamically assume host or device roles. This capability enables true BYOM workflows without fixed room configurations or dedicated host devices, simplifying system architecture and supporting deployments at scale across both managed and unmanaged environments.
USBExt3c delivers up to 60 watts of USB-C power to remote peripherals such as laptops, cameras, speakers, and microphones. The USBExt3c can accelerate deployment timelines and reduce material, labor, and maintenance costs by eliminating the need for electricians, conduit, and permitting.
Powered by Acroname's BrainStem® platform, USBExt3c integrates with IT dashboards and control systems through industry standard APIs to support remote monitoring and management. This operational insight helps teams better understand system status, diagnose connectivity conditions, address configuration issues, and improve overall system uptime.
Leveraging Valens Semiconductor's VS6320 USB extension technology, USBExt3c is designed to be deployed as a standalone extender or offered as an OEM accessory alongside VS6320-based cameras, switches, and other USB peripherals used in extended USB applications.
