FAQs

What is DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode)?

DisplayPort Alternate Mode is a feature of the USB Type-C standard that allows a USB-C port to transmit DisplayPort video signals. Your device's USB-C port must support this feature to use this cable.

Can this cable be used with my iPhone or iPad?

Yes, if your iPhone or iPad has a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (e.g., iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPhone 15 series). Check your device's specifications.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

The cable supports resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 pixels (8K) at 60Hz, or 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K) at 144Hz. Achieving these maximums depends on the capabilities of your source device and display.

Does this cable require any drivers?

No, this cable is plug-and-play and does not require any additional drivers or software installation.

Is this cable compatible with older DisplayPort versions (e.g., DisplayPort 1.2)?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will work with devices and displays that support earlier versions of DisplayPort.

What does HDCP 2.2 support mean?

HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a copy protection standard. Support for it means you can view protected content from sources like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and iTunes in high resolution.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) long.

Troubleshooting

No video signal is displayed.

Verify that the USB-C port on your device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the device and the display. Try selecting the correct DisplayPort input on your monitor manually. Test with a different DisplayPort cable or a different display if possible.

Video resolution or refresh rate is lower than expected.

Check that both your source device and your display support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the cable is fully seated. Update graphics drivers on your source device. Confirm that DisplayPort 1.4 features like HBR3 and DSC are supported by both the source and display if aiming for maximum performance.

Flickering or intermittent video.

Ensure cable connections are secure. Try a different USB-C port on your device if available. Check for potential interference from other electronic devices. Update graphics drivers on your source device.

Cannot play protected content (e.g., Netflix, iTunes).

Ensure your display and source device both support HDCP 2.2. Verify that the cable is functioning correctly, as HDCP relies on a stable connection. Try restarting your device and the display.
