Cable type Maximum length Recommendation
USB Type-C 6' 6" (2 m) for
SuperSpeed 5Gbps
cables
USB-IF certified USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C cable,
SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) support
To use a USB Type-C cable for video, you need:
l
A full-featured cable that supports SuperSpeed
5Gbps (or faster) data rates.
l
A computer that supports Display Port Alternate
Mode via USB Type-C
Note
The USB Type-C connector in the display’s front
connector panel can supply up to 15 W of power to
connected devices.
Using cables that exceed these maximum lengths may produce unexpected results, intermittent loss of
picture, or degraded picture quality and USB connectivity.
Sharing USB Type-B receptacles
The HDMI, VGA, and Display Port connectors on the rear connector panels (back of the display) all share
a single USB Type-B receptacle on the rear, side panel. This means the touch system can be used with
only one device connected to these video inputs.
The touch system can still be used with a device connected to USB Type-B receptacle even when one of
the video connectors is connected to another display.
