Logitech Extend Swytch Active USB Cable

Organizations are increasingly adopting Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) or Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) solutions to accommodate hybrid work needs and ensure flexibility in meeting spaces. Logitech offers three innovative solutions—Logitech Extend, Logitech Swytch, and the Logitech Active USB Cable—to streamline BYOD experiences in rooms of all sizes. Here’s a detailed look at their key features, primary use cases, and how they enable seamless integration with dedicated Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms.

Logitech Extend

Primary Use Case:
Logitech Extend is designed to convert dedicated Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms on Android into BYOD spaces, allowing users to bypass the pre-configured video provider and use their preferred platform.
How It Works:
With a single USB-C cable, users can connect their laptops or mobile devices to Logitech conference cameras, such as the Rally Bar family or MeetUp, and instantly launch meetings using their preferred video platform.
Two Use Cases, One Solution:BYOD Passthrough: Works seamlessly in Android-based rooms, enabling users to bypass pre-configured platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet. BYOD Extension: Offers plug-and-play simplicity in BYOD rooms with Logitech conference cameras in BYOD mode.

Logitech Extend provides a scalable solution with extended cable reach (up to 328 ft using Cat6a cables) and optional power delivery of up to 100W for connected devices. This makes it ideal for larger meeting rooms where flexibility is key.

Logitech Swytch

Primary Use Case:
Logitech Swytch is optimized for converting PC-based dedicated Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, or Google Meet setups into BYOD spaces.
How It Works:
Logitech Swytch links a user’s laptop to the room’s AV equipment using a single USB-A or USB-C connection. This allows users to run meetings from their laptops while leveraging the room’s display, camera, and audio.
Key Features: Compatible with various platforms, including Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS.
Includes DisplayLink technology for high-quality video (up to 4K/60fps) and smooth device connectivity.

Logitech Swytch simplifies meeting room flexibility, enabling organizations to accommodate different conferencing software without compromising on quality.

Logitech Active USB Cable

Primary Use Case:
A cost-effective solution for enabling BYOD functionality in small meeting rooms with the Logitech MeetUp 2.
How It Works:
The Active USB Cable supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, allowing users to connect their laptop to the MeetUp 2 via a single USB-C cable—no additional HDMI adapters are required.
Key Features: 5-meter cable length for flexibility in small spaces. USB 3.1 Gen 2 for fast data transfer.

While designed for smaller spaces, the Logitech Active USB Cable offers the same ease of use as its counterparts, ensuring seamless BYOD setup in compact environments.
