FAQs

What does 'DisplayPort Alternate Mode' mean?

DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Altmode) allows a USB-C port to transmit DisplayPort video and audio signals in addition to standard USB data. This cable requires your USB-C port to support this feature.

Does this cable require drivers?

No, this cable typically works as a plug-and-play device. Most modern operating systems will automatically detect and configure it without requiring driver installation.

Can I use this cable with an HDMI monitor?

No, this lead is specifically designed to convert USB-C to DisplayPort output. You would need a USB-C to HDMI adapter or cable for use with HDMI monitors.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The cable supports DisplayPort resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz (4K).

Do I need a separate power supply?

No, the cable is powered by the USB bus, meaning it draws power directly from the USB-C port of your connected device.

Is the USB-C connector reversible?

Yes, the USB Type-C connector is reversible, meaning you can plug it in either way up.

Troubleshooting

No signal on the monitor

Ensure the USB-C port on your device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Verify both ends of the cable are securely connected. Try selecting the DisplayPort input manually on your monitor. Restart your computer.

Poor video quality or flickering

Check for damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the resolution and refresh rate settings on your source device are supported by the cable and monitor. Try a shorter or higher-quality DisplayPort cable if possible.

Device not recognized

Try connecting to a different USB-C port on your device, if available. Ensure your device's operating system and drivers are up to date.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reversible USB-C connector for easy insertion.
  • Supports high resolutions up to 4K@60Hz.
  • No external power adapter required, simplifying setup.
  • Leverages USB 3.1 speeds for efficient data transfer.

Cons

  • Requires a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
  • Limited to DisplayPort output; does not support other video formats like HDMI directly.
  • Cable length may be a limiting factor for some setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the USB Type-C end of the lead to a compatible USB-C port on your source device (laptop, tablet, etc.). Ensure the port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
  2. Connect the DisplayPort end of the lead to the DisplayPort input on your monitor or display.
  3. The connection should be recognized automatically by most operating systems. If not, you may need to manually select the DisplayPort input on your monitor.

Compatibility:

  • Source Devices: Compatible with devices featuring a USB Type-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (e.g., many modern laptops, some smartphones and tablets).
  • Output Devices: Compatible with monitors, TVs, or projectors with a DisplayPort input.
  • Operating Systems: Generally compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

Care:
