The Ashton Bentley 2.5m Locking USB-C Input Cable for Meeting Room Hubs is a 2.5m USB-C cable with a screw-in locking connector that connects a laptop to Ashton Bentley meeting room hubs.
Part 115-00065 is the input cable Ashton Bentley recommends for its BX USB-C Breakout Hub and VX USB-C and HDMI extender, and its manuals also list it with the TX2 and DX2 interconnectivity kit. It gives presenters more reach than a typical short dock cable.
With the optional 100W USB-C Charging PSU on the hub, the same cable lets the hub supply up to 100W of charging power to the laptop. It has no control interface and needs no drivers.
Ashton Bentley 115-00065 Features
- Screw-in locking connector. The USB-C connector screws into the Ashton Bentley hub instead of relying on friction, so a bumped table or a tugged cable does not drop the laptop feed in the middle of a meeting.
- 2.5m of reach. The manufacturer notes the 2.5m length is longer than most USB-C cables, so a presenter can sit well away from an under-table or in-table hub without stretching the cable across the desk.
- 100W charging path. When paired with the optional BX/VX USB-C Charging PSU (100W), the manufacturer says this cable lets the hub deliver up to 100W of charging power to the connected laptop, so one cable also keeps it powered.
- Recommended for the BX hub. The BX USB-C Breakout Hub manual recommends this cable for its USB-C input, and the 2.5m figure is the distance Ashton Bentley quotes for placing the BX away from the laptop.
- Recommended for the VX transmitter. The VX USB-C and HDMI extender manual points to this cable for the VXT USB-C input, and it is the cable named in troubleshooting when a laptop charges but shows no video.
- Video, data, network, and power on one passive cable. B&H lists this passive cable for 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz video at 4:4:4, USB 3.2 Gen 1 data at 5 Gb/s with DisplayPort Alt Mode, Gigabit Ethernet, and 100 W charging, so one locked connection carries the full laptop link.
- Works across the X-Range. The part is listed in the BX, VX, and TX2 and DX2 documentation, and Ashton Bentley says its input cables connect to the TX2 with the same locking connector for a secure fit.
Where the 115-00065 Fits
Meeting room tables: One cable from the table hub to the presenter's laptop, locked in place so guests cannot pull it loose by accident.
Hot-desk and huddle spaces: A known-good cable that stays with the hub, so users do not bring their own, possibly video-incapable, USB-C cables.
Training and boardroom installs: Installers who specify BX, VX, or TX2 hubs can order the matching input cable along with them.

Is the 115-00065 a locking USB-C cable?
Yes. The 115-00065 has a unique screw-in locking connector that prevents inadvertent disconnection from Ashton Bentley hubs.
How long is the Ashton Bentley 115-00065 cable?
The product manuals list it as a 2.5m cable, which Ashton Bentley says is longer than most USB-C cables.
Does the 115-00065 carry 100W of charging power?

Which Ashton Bentley products does it work with?
Yes, it is documented for the BX USB-C Breakout Hub, the VX USB-C and HDMI extender kit, and the TX2 table hub, which accepts AB input cables with locking connectors.
Do I need this cable for the BX hub?
No. The BX works with other USB-C cables, but Ashton Bentley recommends this one because it locks in place and supports the 100W charging path.
Will any USB-C cable give video and charging?
No. Ashton Bentley notes that a cable without the high-speed lines will not carry video, and recommends the 115-00065 for that reason.

No. The charging PSU is a separate optional part, the BX/VX USB-C Charging PSU (100W), sold on its own.
