A monitor with a three-in-one cable? Pure simplicity.

There are two words guaranteed to make us sigh loudly: cable management. Now, don’t misunderstand us, we know the unique satisfaction of well managed cables, but that feeling is entirely derived from the knowledge that they often need a lot of wrangling.

Take monitors, for example. There are plenty of situations where having multiple cables attached to a monitor can be obstructive and problematic. On medical devices, where additional cables mean more cleaning to maintain high levels of hygiene. Or kiosks and Point of Sale systems, where a streamlined look and zero public obstruction is essential.

See? Cables matter. So much that our customers have been asking us for help.

And, of course, our design experts were all too happy to spring into action, doing what they do best, and have solved the cable conundrum with a new USB-C Monitor Series that is a single cable dream. In your traditional monitor setups, you would expect to have separate cables for power, touch functionality and a video data cable, such as an HDMI.

Our new USB-C Monitor Series needs only a single cable to handle all three.

The range covers display sizes from 10.1” to 21.5”, sizes we know to be popular in commercial, medical and industrial environments. And, because our team think of everything, the monitors also support VCP (Virtual Control Panel) commands over USB-C, so you can monitor and adjust brightness, contrast and color. Commands can be sent directly from the host device without needing physical buttons or complex control setups, allowing for easier configuration and remote adjustments.

Plus, the maximum cable length of three meters means that the monitor can easily be positioned further away from the host system, while maintaining signal integrity. This is ideal for industrial and commercial setups where the monitor and controlling system may not be directly next to each other.

It all comes down to one thing: simplification. Our new USB-C Monitor Series cuts through the complexity of traditional setups with a single cable, making these monitors perfect for today’s demanding industrial and commercial environments.
