FAQs
Does this adapter support power delivery?
No, this adapter is designed strictly for video signal transmission and does not provide power delivery (charging) to the host device.
Do I need to install any software to make this work?
No, the adapter is true plug-and-play; your computer's OS will handle the connection automatically without extra software.
Can I use this with my smartphone?
Yes, provided your smartphone has a USB-C port that supports video output (DisplayPort Alt Mode).
Is this adapter compatible with older monitors?
It is compatible with any monitor that accepts a DisplayPort connection, though the resolution will be limited by the monitor's native specs.
What is the maximum resolution this adapter can handle?
The adapter supports up to 8K resolution (7680 x 4320 pixels) depending on the capabilities of your source device and display.
Troubleshooting
No signal detected on the monitor
Verify that your host device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate (Alt) Mode, as not all USB-C ports transmit video.
Display resolution is lower than expected
Ensure that both your cable and your monitor support the desired resolution, and check that your operating system display settings are configured to output the maximum resolution.
Connection is intermittent
Check that both the USB-C and DisplayPort connections are fully seated, and ensure no debris is trapped inside the ports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Insert the USB-C (male) connector into your computer, tablet, or smartphone's USB-C port. Ensure the port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.
- Connect your DisplayPort cable from your monitor into the DisplayPort (female) port on the adapter.
- Your operating system will automatically detect the display. No drivers are needed.
Compatibility:
This device supports Windows 10, Windows 11, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Linux, and macOS. Ensure your host device’s USB-C port is capable of video output, as some USB-C ports on older devices are data-only.
Care:
- Avoid bending the 0.12m cable sharply, as this can strain the internal wiring.
- Keep the connectors free of dust and debris to maintain a solid signal.
- Store the adapter in a protective pouch when not in use to prevent damage to the connector housings.
