Neutrik has introduced the NAUSBC-5G-FL series, a new line of D-size USB Type-C chassis connectors designed to deliver high-speed data transfer and reliable power delivery in professional AV and IT environments.
Each connector features integrated fly-lead patch cables at the rear, available in four lengths from 10 to 25 centimeters (3.9 to 9.8 inches). The built-in cables help reduce signal loss by removing a passive couple and simplify installation by providing a direct connection to active equipment. This integration reduces both system cost and complexity while minimizing the risk of accidental cable pullout inside racks or enclosures.
The NAUSBC-5G-FL connectors are rated for 5 Gbps data transmission (USB 3.1 Gen 1) and 100 W (20 V / 5 A) power delivery under the USB Power Delivery 3.1 specification, making them suitable for charging, powering, and connecting devices in demanding AV applications.
Their rugged D-size form factor supports use in AVL rack systems, embedded control units, mobile setups, and charging stations. The connectors also feature UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant and UV-resistant flange materials for durability and safety in both indoor and outdoor installations. Halogen-free cable materials enhance fire safety for indoor use.
The front accepts standard USB Type-C patch cables, while the integrated design ensures robust performance in space-limited or high-demand environments.
“Our customers have long requested USB Type-C chassis connectors in a D-size form factor,” said Chris Neethling, president of Neutrik Americas. “These new products provide an elegant solution. Their integrated rear-side patch cables offer high data throughput, high power transfer, and easy integration with active equipment. We expect system integrators and product designers will find a lot to like in these new offerings.”
The NAUSBC-5G-FL series includes four variations:
- NAUSBC-5G-FL10 (10 cm cable)
- NAUSBC-5G-FL15 (15 cm cable)
- NAUSBC-5G-FL20 (20 cm cable)
- NAUSBC-5G-FL25 (25 cm cable)
