Ashton Bentley, part of Kramer, is expanding its meeting room technology with the new X-Range, offering USB-C connectivity for meeting spaces.

From small meeting rooms to large lecture theatres the X-Range is a modular family of USB-C enabled AV connectivity solutions designed to simplify and standardise hybrid collaboration across modern workspaces.

The line amalgamates more than 60 years of combined innovation, expertise, and experience, following Kramer’s acquisition of Ashton Bentley in 2024.

The X-Range enables collaboration across Kramer’s global brands, using a single USB-C connection for charging, video, audio, USB, and networking to address complex BYOD challenges in meeting rooms.

X-Range products are fully compatible with both Mac and Windows without the need for drivers or additional software. Installation is straightforward, with smart web-based configuration and out-of-the-box functionality, reducing deployment timescales and minimising AV/IT support.

Products in the range include:

BX Kit – A USB-C breakout hub with 100W charging, 4K60 video, USB/data, and gigabit networking over a single locking USB-C cable.
VX Kit – Combines USB-C and HDMI inputs with automatic source switching, ideal for Microsoft Teams Room configurations.
TX2/DX2 Kit – A two-box room system that replaces traditional AV racks, enabling smart USB switching and device control via web-based GUI.
UX Smart Switch – Intelligent USB switching between room PCs and laptops, perfect for BYOD environments.
“The X-Range is designed to make AV infrastructure smarter, not harder,” said Tony Leedham, chief commercial officer, Ashton Bentley. “It’s about enterprise-grade performance, seamless user experience, and less work for AV/IT teams.”
