FAQs

Does this cable require a separate power supply?

No, this cable is powered directly by the USB bus power from your connected USB-C device, so no external power adapter is needed.

What does 'DisplayPort Alt Mode' mean?

DisplayPort Alt Mode (Alternate Mode) is a feature of the USB-C standard that allows the USB-C port to carry DisplayPort video signals, in addition to standard USB data. This cable converts that DisplayPort signal to HDMI.

Will this cable work with any USB-C port?

No, it will only work with USB-C ports that specifically support DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Ports that only support USB data transfer or charging will not work for video output.

Can I use this cable to connect an HDMI device to a USB-C port?

No, this cable is designed for USB-C to HDMI output only. It cannot convert an HDMI signal to USB-C.

What is the maximum refresh rate for 4K resolution?

This cable supports 4K resolution at up to 60Hz, provided that both your source device and display also support these specifications.

Is the connector reversible?

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

How do I check if my USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode?

Refer to your device's user manual or manufacturer's specifications. Often, a DisplayPort logo or a Thunderbolt 3/4 logo next to the USB-C port indicates support for video output.

Troubleshooting

No signal or display not detected

Ensure the USB-C port on your source device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Verify both ends of the cable are securely connected. Try a different HDMI port on the display and ensure the display is set to the correct input source. Restart your source device.

Flickering or unstable display

Check that the cable is fully seated in both ports. Try a shorter or different HDMI cable if possible to rule out cable issues. Ensure your source device's graphics drivers are up to date. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate if the issue persists.

Low resolution or incorrect aspect ratio

Confirm that your source device supports the desired resolution (e.g., 4K@60Hz). Adjust the display settings in your operating system to select the correct resolution and refresh rate. Check the display's own settings.

Audio not playing through HDMI

Ensure that audio output is set to the HDMI device in your operating system's sound settings. Verify that your source device and display both support audio over HDMI.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high-resolution 4K video at a smooth 60Hz refresh rate.
  • Reversible USB-C connector simplifies connection.
  • Durable construction with metal housing and braided cable.
  • Plug-and-play functionality, no external power required.
  • Wide compatibility with devices supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C.

Cons

  • Requires a USB-C port that specifically supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the USB-C end of the cable to a compatible USB-C port on your source device (laptop, tablet, etc.). Ensure the port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
  2. Connect the HDMI end of the cable to an available HDMI port on your display (monitor, TV, projector).
  3. Your device should automatically detect the display. You may need to configure display settings (e.g., extend or duplicate screen) in your operating system's display preferences.

Compatibility:

  • Source Devices: Compatible with laptops, tablets, and smartphones featuring a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode or later.
  • Displays: Compatible with any monitor, TV, or projector with an HDMI input.
  • Operating Systems: Generally compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS that support external displays via USB-C.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth if necessary.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
