Product Information
Full details
This Cablenet adapter is for users with DisplayPort-enabled computers who need to connect to an HDMI-supported display. Its key benefit is providing a simple, plug-and-play solution for extending your display capabilities. A caveat is its passive nature, meaning it relies on the DisplayPort source to convert the signal, and it supports resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz. It features gold-plated connectors for reliable signal transmission and a durable black finish.

FAQs
Is this adapter active or passive?
This is a passive adapter. It relies on the DisplayPort source device to convert the signal to HDMI, typically requiring the DisplayPort output to support DisplayPort++ (DP++).
What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?
The adapter supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at a 30Hz refresh rate.
Do I need to install any drivers for this adapter?
No, this adapter is plug-and-play and does not require any software drivers. The signal conversion is handled by your computer's graphics hardware.
Will this adapter work with any DisplayPort output?
It is recommended to use this adapter with DisplayPort outputs that support DisplayPort++ (DP++), often indicated by a '+' symbol next to the port. Some older DisplayPort versions or specific implementations might not support DP++.
Can I connect my HDMI computer to a DisplayPort monitor with this adapter?
No, this adapter is designed to connect a DisplayPort output source to an HDMI input display. It does not work in reverse.
What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors?
Gold-plated connectors provide better conductivity and corrosion resistance, which helps ensure a stable and reliable signal transmission.
What is the data transfer rate?
The adapter supports a data transfer rate of 2.25 Gbit/s.
Troubleshooting
No signal displayed on the HDMI screen
Ensure the DisplayPort end is securely connected to the computer and the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the display. Verify that the display is set to the correct HDMI input source. Check if the computer's graphics card supports DisplayPort++ (DP++).
Screen resolution or refresh rate is incorrect
Access your computer's display settings and manually select the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the selected settings do not exceed the adapter's maximum support (4K @ 30Hz). Update your computer's graphics drivers.
Flickering or intermittent signal
Try a different, high-quality HDMI cable. Ensure the DisplayPort connection is secure. Check for any physical damage to the adapter's connectors. If possible, test with another DisplayPort source to rule out an issue with the original port.
Adapter not recognized by the computer
Disconnect and reconnect the adapter. Restart your computer. Ensure you are using a DisplayPort output that supports DP++.
