Uni-directional USB-C to DisplayPort adapter

This aluminium adapter connects a USB-C source device such as a laptop or tablet to a DisplayPort-equipped monitor, television or projector. It is designed for users who need a single-direction video and audio link without installing additional drivers. The compact grey housing suits desk or travel use where a permanent cable is not required.

Aluminium housing with plug-and-play operation

The aluminium shell provides a durable finish while keeping the adapter lightweight at approximately twenty-two grams. A male USB-C plug inserts directly into the host port and a female DisplayPort receptacle accepts a separate DisplayPort cable, which is not included. No software installation is needed, but the host USB-C port must support DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode for video output to function.

4K resolution at 60 Hz maximum

The adapter supports resolutions up to 3840 by 2160 pixels at a 60 Hz refresh rate, delivering clear images and pure audio over the single connection. This specification determines whether the adapter matches the display requirements of the target monitor or projector. Buyers whose displays require higher refresh rates or resolutions beyond 4K at 60 Hz will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

What refresh rate does the USB-C to DisplayPort adapter cap at for 4K resolution?

The adapter supports up to 4K at 60Hz, so the practical ceiling is 60 frames per second at 3840x2160.

What physical space does the aluminium housing need to fit alongside a laptop port?

The adapter measures 22.1996 in x 2.2098 in x .9906 in and weighs .0229471 kilograms, so it needs a few centimetres of clearance beside the USB-C socket.

How is the adapter installed and what host requirement is often missed?

Plug the USB-C male end into a port that supports DP 1.2 Alt Mode, connect a DisplayPort cable to the female end, and attach the display; the step people miss is confirming the host port actually carries video.
