Product Information

Full details

This Kenable USB 3.1 Type C to HDMI Cable Adapter is for users who need to connect USB-C enabled devices to HDMI displays. Its key benefit is enabling high-resolution video output up to 4K@60Hz from modern laptops and devices. A caveat is that it relies on the DisplayPort Alternate Mode support of the USB-C port, which is not universal across all USB-C devices. The adapter converts a DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode signal from a USB-C input into an HDMI output, supporting HDCP content protection and using USB bus power, eliminating the need for an external power supply.

FAQs

Does this adapter require a separate power supply?

No, the adapter is powered directly by the USB-C port (USB bus power) and does not require an external power adapter.

What is DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode)?

Alternative Mode allows a USB-C port to carry different types of signals, including DisplayPort video signals, in addition to standard USB data.

Can I use this adapter for USB data transfer?

No, this adapter is designed exclusively for video and audio output from USB-C to HDMI. It does not support USB data transfer.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The adapter supports a maximum resolution of 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) at a refresh rate of 60Hz.

Will this work with any USB-C port?

It will only work with USB-C ports that specifically support DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Many modern laptops and some smartphones have this feature, but it is not universal.

Do I need to install any drivers?

No, this adapter is plug-and-play and does not typically require driver installation on compatible operating systems.

Troubleshooting

No signal on the display

Verify that the source device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different HDMI cable. Select the correct HDMI input on your display. Restart both the source device and the display.

Low resolution or flickering image

Check the resolution settings in your operating system. Ensure the source device and display support the desired resolution (e.g., 4K@60Hz). Ensure the USB-C port supports the required data transfer rates for the selected resolution. Update your device's graphics drivers and operating system.

Adapter not recognized by the device

Try plugging the adapter into a different USB-C port on your device, if available. Ensure the USB-C port on your device is functional. Some devices may require a firmware update to properly support Alt Mode.

Audio is not working

Confirm that your source device is configured to output audio via HDMI. Check the audio output settings in your operating system. Ensure the HDMI cable supports audio transmission.
