What this adapter does

This Brainwavz USB-C to HDMI adapter converts a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 port into an HDMI 2.0 output running at up to 4K resolution and 60 Hz. It is built for users who need a simple, driver-free link between a modern laptop, tablet or phone and an external display.

When the upgrade makes sense

The adapter supports 18 Gbps bandwidth and is backward compatible with HDMI 1.4, 1.3 and 1.2 displays. The jump is worth it when your host device can supply a native Thunderbolt video signal and you need the full 4K 60 Hz experience rather than a lower refresh rate or resolution.

Installation and common issues

Connection is plug-and-play with no software installation required. The gold-plated ports and reinforced nylon cable are rated for 25 000 flex cycles. Most problems arise when the host USB-C port does not carry a video signal or when the attached cable and monitor cannot handle the 4K 60 Hz throughput.

Questions about this item

Does the USB-C connector on this adapter fit Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports?

Yes, the adapter is built for Thunderbolt 3/4 and uses a standard USB-C plug that seats directly in those ports.

What is the correct way to connect the adapter so the 4K 60 Hz signal works?

Plug the USB-C end into the host device first, then attach your HDMI cable to the adapter’s HDMI port; the adapter is plug-and-play with no driver installation required.

How long will the gold-plated HDMI port and nylon-jacketed cable last with daily plugging and unplugging?

The reinforced strain-relief and 24K gold-plated contacts are rated for 25 000 flex cycles, so normal daily use should not wear them out.
