FAQs

Does this adapter require any drivers to work?

No, the TP-Link UA520C is a Plug and Play device and does not require any additional drivers or software installation.

What is DP Alt Mode?

DP Alt Mode (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) is a feature that allows a USB Type-C port to transmit DisplayPort video signals. This adapter requires the USB-C port on your device to support this mode to output video.

Can I use this adapter with my smartphone?

Yes, if your smartphone's USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode. Many modern Android phones and some iOS devices with USB-C ports are compatible.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

The adapter supports HDMI up to 4K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate.

Will the braided cable interfere with other ports?

The 10cm braided cable is designed to be flexible and reduce interference, but its short length may slightly affect adjacent ports depending on the device design.

Is this adapter compatible with Apple iPads?

Yes, it is compatible with iPads that have a USB Type-C port supporting DP Alt Mode, such as the iPad Pro and newer iPad Air models.

Do I need a separate power supply for this adapter?

No, the adapter draws power directly from the USB-C port of your connected device. No external power supply is needed.

Troubleshooting

No video output or display not detected.

Ensure the USB-C port on your device supports DP Alt Mode. Try a different USB-C port if available. Verify the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the display. Restart your device and the display.

Flickering or intermittent video.

Check the HDMI cable connection for a secure fit. Ensure the USB-C port on your device is providing stable power and data. Update your device's operating system and graphics drivers. Try a different HDMI cable.

Low resolution or incorrect refresh rate.

Confirm that your display supports the desired resolution (e.g., 4K) and refresh rate (60Hz). Adjust the display settings within your operating system to match the adapter's capabilities and your display's support. Ensure the source device can output the desired resolution and refresh rate.

Audio not playing through HDMI.

Check your system's audio output settings and ensure the HDMI display is selected as the default audio device. Make sure your source device and display both support audio over HDMI.
