FAQs

Does this adapter require external power?

No, this adapter is bus-powered and draws power directly from the USB-C port on your device, so no external power supply is needed.

What is DisplayPort Alternate Mode?

DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Altmode) is a feature that allows USB-C ports to transmit native DisplayPort video and audio signals, in addition to standard USB data.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

The adapter supports DisplayPort resolutions up to 3840x2160 (4K) at a 60Hz refresh rate.

Can I connect a DVI or HDMI monitor with this adapter?

No, this adapter specifically converts the signal for DisplayPort monitors. You would need a different adapter for HDMI or DVI connections.

How do I know if my USB-C port supports DisplayPort Altmode?

Look for a DisplayPort logo (a 'D' inside a 'P') next to the USB-C port on your device, or consult your device's manufacturer specifications.

What is the length of the cable lead?

The adapter features a 15cm lead.

Does it support HDCP?

Yes, the adapter supports HDCP content protection.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on the display

Verify that your USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Ensure the DisplayPort cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the monitor. Try a different DisplayPort monitor or cable. Restart your computer.

Low resolution or flickering image

Check the display settings on your computer to ensure the correct resolution and refresh rate are selected. Make sure the chosen resolution (e.g., 3840x2160) is supported by both your device and the monitor at 60Hz. Ensure the DisplayPort cable is rated for the desired bandwidth.

Device not recognized

Unplug and replug the USB-C connector. Ensure your operating system is up to date, as driver support may be necessary. Test the adapter with a different USB-C port or device if available.

  • Reversible USB-C connector for ease of use.

Cons

  • Requires the host USB-C port to support DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
  • Fixed 15cm cable length may limit placement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-C male connector into the corresponding USB-C port on your computer or device. Then, connect the DisplayPort socket to your DisplayPort monitor using a standard DisplayPort cable. Ensure your device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (often indicated by a DisplayPort logo next to the port).

Compatibility: Compatible with any USB-C enabled device that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. This includes many modern laptops, tablets, and some smartphones. The output is specifically for DisplayPort monitors and displays.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Avoid kinking or excessively bending the cable. Store in a dry environment when not in use.
