MSolutions will demonstrate new signal extension technology at Integrated Systems Europe 2026 in Barcelona, including a USB-C extender designed to carry DisplayPort Alternate Mode video, USB data and power over a single category cable.

The company’s new MS-DPA-CP, scheduled to ship in the first quarter of 2026, is a plug-and-play USB-C solution that extends DisplayPort Alt Mode without requiring drivers or software. Designed for corporate meeting rooms and education spaces, the extender supports 4K video at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and adds up to 60 watts of charging power from the host unit to a connected laptop.

According to MSolutions, the MS-DPA-CP uses specialized USB-C port configuration to transmit DisplayPort signals over a single cable, eliminating the need for dedicated DisplayPort cabling. The device’s compact form factor is intended to support flexible installation in space-constrained meeting and learning environments.

“DP Alt Mode is enabled by configuring specific pins on USB-C ports to transmit DisplayPort signals,” said Ariel Marcus, chief technology officer at MSolutions. “Through this specialized configuration, we can eliminate bulky DisplayPort cables with heavy shielding, physical latches and metal connectors protected by large plastic housings.”

MSolutions said the extender has been tested with both Mac and Windows computers and is compatible with Neat video collaboration systems, supporting streamlined deployment and simplified room design.

In addition to the MS-DPA-CP, MSolutions will debut its full 1Connect ecosystem to European audiences at ISE. The 1Connect platform is designed to simplify long-distance USB-C and HDMI connectivity, enabling flexible placement of host and device units while supporting bring-your-own-device meeting room workflows.

The 1Connect ecosystem is anchored by the MS-63DOC and MS-63DOC-P Docking Extender Kits, which pair host and device extenders for AV and USB signal transport. The MS-63DOC-P model, newly introduced to ISE attendees, adds support for up to 60 watts of device charging from the host unit.

ISE 2026 takes place Feb. 2–5 at the Fira de Barcelona. MSolutions will exhibit at Stand 1E900.
