USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 Adapter 1.8 m

The DriverGenius UC2DP8K-18-M1 is a USB Type C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable that connects a DP monitor to a compatible USB-C port. It supports up to 7680x4320 at 60 Hz with DSC or 8K at 30 Hz without DSC, plus 4K at 60 Hz and 1080p. The 1.8 m grey cable weighs 115 grams and is HDCP 2.2/1.4 compliant.

Suited For And Not Suited For

This adapter suits professionals, creatives, gamers and home users who need a single high-resolution display from a USB-C port with DP Alt Mode. It works with desktops using RTX 2060, 2070 or 2080 GPUs, Radeon RX 6000 series, 11th generation Intel Tiger Lake with Iris Xe, and Macs with M1 or Intel chips limited to 4K at 60 Hz. It is not for buyers whose devices lack DP Alt Mode, who need 8K on a Mac, or who require more than one display from the single output.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that decides fit is the host device's graphics capability: 8K at 60 Hz with DSC demands an RTX 2060 or better, Radeon RX 6000 series, or Tiger Lake Iris Xe, while all listed Mac models are capped at 4K at 60 Hz regardless of cable rating.
