Logitech Active USB Cable Compatibility and Solutions

Logitech Active USB Cable (5m) is a specialized USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable designed specifically for devices that natively support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). This architecture enables a high-performance, single-cable BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) experience by delivering high-speed data and 4K video signal over a single USB-C connection.

This article applies to:

• MeetUp 2

• Rally Board 65

Supported Single-Cable BYOD Configurations

The following Logitech products are officially verified to support a single-cable BYOD workflow using the Logitech Active USB Cable (5m):

MeetUp 2

This device supports a full single-cable BYOD experience via DP Alt Mode. While the included 3m cable is USB 2.0, the 5m Active USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable is the recommended solution for users requiring a longer 5m run while maintaining DP Alt Mode video support.

Note: For reliable USB 2.0 active runs, it is not recommended to go past 5m.

Rally Board 65

This device is officially verified and supported for high-speed data and video throughput using the Active USB Cable.

Technical Considerations

For a successful single-cable BYOD setup, ensure the following requirements are met:

• Host Compatibility: The laptop or host device must have a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).

• Cable Specifications: The 5m length of this specific active cable is optimized to maintain signal integrity for both USB 3.1 data and video.
