Product Information

Full details

This kenable USB 3.1 Type C to HDMI lead is designed for users who need to connect USB-C enabled devices to HDMI displays for high-definition output. Its key benefit is the ability to convert a DisplayPort Alt mode signal from USB-C into an HDMI signal, supporting up to 4K@60Hz resolution. A minor consideration is that it relies on the USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode for functionality.

FAQs

Does this cable support audio?

Audio support depends on whether the USB-C port on your device supports audio transmission via DisplayPort Alternate Mode. If supported by the source device and transmitted over DP Alt Mode, it will be carried through to the HDMI display.

What is DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode)?

DP Alt Mode is a feature of USB-C that allows the port to carry DisplayPort video signals in addition to USB data. This cable requires DP Alt Mode to function.

How do I know if my USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode?

Consult your device's user manual or manufacturer's specifications. Look for symbols like a DisplayPort logo next to the USB-C port, or check the technical specifications for 'DisplayPort Alternate Mode' or 'DP Alt Mode' support.

Can I use this cable with a standard USB-C to USB-C cable and then an adapter?

No, this is a direct lead. It converts the signal from the USB-C port itself. Using intermediate adapters may prevent the DP Alt Mode signal from being correctly transmitted.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The cable supports HDMI resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) at a 60Hz refresh rate.

Is this cable compatible with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports?

Yes, Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports are based on the USB-C connector and typically support DisplayPort Alternate Mode, making them compatible with this cable.

Do I need to install any drivers?

No, this is a plug-and-play device. No drivers are typically required, as video output is handled by the source device's operating system and hardware.

Troubleshooting

No video or signal detected on the HDMI display.

Ensure the USB-C port on your source device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Check that the HDMI cable is securely connected at both ends. Verify the correct HDMI input is selected on the display. Try a different USB-C port or display if possible.

Display resolution is lower than expected (e.g., 1080p instead of 4K).

Confirm that both your source device and the HDMI display support the desired resolution (4K@60Hz). Check the display settings on your source device to ensure the correct resolution is selected. Ensure the USB-C port supports the required bandwidth for 4K@60Hz.

Flickering or intermittent signal.

Check for loose connections at both ends. Ensure the USB-C port is providing stable power. Try using the adapter with a different USB-C device or HDMI port to rule out device-specific issues.

Device does not provide power to the lead.

This adapter is bus-powered and does not require external power. If you are experiencing issues, ensure the USB-C port on your source device is functional and providing adequate power.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables easy connection of USB-C devices to HDMI monitors or TVs.
  • Supports high resolutions up to 4K@60Hz for excellent visual quality.
  • Convenient reversible USB-C connector.
  • No external power adapter required.
  • Compact and portable design.

Cons

  • Requires a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
  • May not be compatible with all USB-C devices if DP Alt Mode is not supported.
  • Cable length is fixed and may limit placement options.
  • Does not support audio directly over HDMI unless the source device provides it via DP Alt Mode.

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, smartphone).
  2. Connect the HDMI end of the lead to the HDMI input port on your display (monitor, TV, projector).
  3. Ensure your source device is configured to output video over its USB-C port (this often requires the port to support DisplayPort Alternate Mode).
  4. Your display should automatically detect the signal. If not, select the correct HDMI input source on your display.

Compatibility:

  • Source Devices: Compatible with devices featuring a USB Type-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
  • Displays: Compatible with any display featuring an HDMI input port.
  • Operating Systems: Generally compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android devices that support DP Alt Mode over USB-C.

Care:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable.

  • Store in a dry environment when not in use.
