This USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter (M/M) connects a 4K-enabled monitor, projector or television to your desktop computer, tablet, laptop, notebook, MacBook, Chromebook or smartphone. Because the cable is capable of transmitting data in either direction, you can connect a DisplayPort monitor to a USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3) source device or a USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3) monitor to a DisplayPort source. No other adapter or cable is needed to complete your 4K audio/video connection.
By connecting the cable to a source device that supports USB DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K video and digital audio to a monitor, television or projector without installing special software drivers. The U444-006-DP-BD is ideal for multitasking, presenting video at trade shows and conferences, editing documents, playing online games and watching 4K movies on a larger screen.
The U444-006-DP-BD supports Ultra HD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at 60 Hz with multi-channel digital audio. It's compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 standards for carrying HDR (high dynamic range) signals, which provides a wide range of vibrant colors with richer contrast, brighter whites and deeper blacks. HDCP 2.2 compliance allows you to stream iTunes and Netflix content with no complications. This adapter also supports 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for top-level PC gaming or using your HDTV as a PC monitor.
Having a cable come loose accidentally can mean costly and time-consuming signal loss. The locking DisplayPort connector helps you avoid such danger, protecting your audio/video transmission by maintaining a secure link without failure. The locking cable is also invaluable when moving equipment in a rack or removing equipment from tight areas, ensuring the cord always stays connected.
Unlike traditional USB cables that connect in only one direction, the reversible USB-C male connector plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in either direction for a fumble-free connection every time.
The plug-and-play USB Type-C to DisplayPort bi-directional cable requires no software or external power. The six-foot (1.8 m) cable is backward compatible with previous USB and DisplayPort generations, so you can use it with legacy equipment. Please note, in the event of no image being displayed on your Type-C monitor, connect the included USB Type-C female to male adapter to the USB Type-C male connector end on the cable.
