Match the Source and Display Ports

The connection uses USB-C male to DisplayPort male. The USB-C host must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode video output; a data-only USB-C port is insufficient. Check the actual ports before planning the route.

Up to 8K at 60 Hz

The maximum advertised resolution is 7680 × 4320 at 60 Hz under the appropriate DisplayPort 1.4 conditions. High-bandwidth modes can require Display Stream Compression support in the source and display. The adapter or cable does not add a resolution or refresh rate that either connected device cannot support.

DisplayPort 1.4 and the Complete Signal Path

DisplayPort 1.4 provides the connection framework for this product family. The USB-C source must expose the required DisplayPort video capabilities through its USB-C port. A monitor with a lower maximum resolution or an older source continues to operate within the capabilities shared by the complete setup.

Plan the Cable and Connection Route

This is a direct display lead with a plug at each end. The supplied cable length for this listing is 1.8 m. Include clearance at the sockets and avoid tightly bending the connection behind the screen or laptop.

Audio and Display Features

DisplayPort can carry digital audio alongside the video signal when the source and receiving equipment support it. Select the display as the audio output if that is the intended listening route. HDR and other display functions also depend on the source, screen, settings and content; the physical connection alone does not add missing display hardware.
