Lindy Bi-Directional USB Type C To DisplayPort Cable - 1m - Grey

DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) is a feature of USB Type-C that allows the USB-C port to carry DisplayPort video signals directly, enabling video output from USB-C devices to DisplayPort displays.

No, this cable is plug-and-play and does not require any drivers or software installation. It relies on the DisplayPort Alternate Mode support built into your source device and operating system.

Yes, Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports are based on the USB-C connector and typically support DisplayPort Alternate Mode, so this cable should be compatible.

Display Stream Compression (DSC) is a visually lossless compression technology that allows for higher resolutions and refresh rates to be transmitted over existing bandwidth. It's essential for achieving 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz with this cable.

This Lindy cable comes with a 2-year warranty.

Yes, this is one of the primary functions of the bi-directional design. You can connect a DisplayPort source (like a graphics card) to a USB-C monitor.

This specific model (43503) is 1m. Lindy also offers a 2m version (model 43504).

Ensure the USB-C port on your source device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected. Try selecting the correct input source on your display manually. Test with a different USB-C to DisplayPort cable or a different device to isolate the issue.

Confirm that both your source device and display support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure Display Stream Compression (DSC) is supported by both devices if you are aiming for 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz. Check device graphics settings and cable specifications.

Check for secure cable connections at both ends. Ensure the cable is not tightly bent or damaged. Other electronic devices or cables nearby could cause interference; try repositioning. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty.

Verify the USB-C port on your source device supports DP Alt Mode. Ensure the cable is correctly oriented (though this cable is bi-directional, it's good to confirm connections). Restart both the source device and the display.
