Logitech Extend - Video/audio extender - USB-C, 10Mb LAN - over CAT 5e/6 - up to 100 m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Logitech Extend is one of those “sensible, boring” add-ons that actually earns its keep when your meeting room layout doesn’t cooperate. If you’ve got a USB video conference setup (Logitech room kit, webcams, etc.) and you need the camera/mic hardware to sit up to a decent distance from the conferencing computer, this can be a clean way to avoid rerouting everything. Paying £701.88 ex-VAT for an extender isn’t cheap, but it’s usually cheaper than the faff of cabling changes, moving PCs, or buying into a more complex AV matrix—especially in businesses where rooms get repurposed and you need reliable results.

Who should buy: IT teams and facilities that support multiple meeting rooms, where “100m class” runs over existing CAT5e/6 are the practical constraint, and where you want something Logitech-designed to be plug-and-play with their ecosystem. Who should think twice: if your install is short cable runs (say you’re already within a couple of metres), or you don’t have a standard Logitech setup to match—because then you’re paying premium money for value you may not fully realise. Also, if you’re expecting it to magically replace an end-to-end AV design for every scenario (different device compatibility, odd sync requirements, heavy management needs), it’s worth piloting first—extenders are great, but they’re not a universal problem-solver.
