USB-C to HDMI 2.1 Active Cable

This active cable connects USB-C devices directly to HDMI 2.1 displays without adapters. It suits users who need a single-cable link from laptops or docking stations to high-resolution monitors or TVs. The 6ft length fits typical desk or living-room setups.

HDMI 2.1 bandwidth limits

The cable supports up to 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz. Dynamic HDR, Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode are available when both source and display implement HDMI 2.1. The active chipset maintains signal integrity across the full cable length.

Check your USB-C port capabilities

Verify that your host port carries DisplayPort Alt Mode or native HDMI video output. Ports limited to data or charging will not transmit video. Confirm the display accepts the target resolution and refresh rate over its HDMI 2.1 input.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6 ft length or a different cable for my desk setup?

This model is offered in a 6 ft length with an active chipset that maintains signal integrity across that distance, so choose it when the display sits within six feet of the USB-C source.

What does the 8K@60Hz rating mean when I plug this into my laptop?

The cable can carry an 8K signal at 60 Hz or a 4K signal at 120 Hz from a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, provided the host GPU and the display both support those modes.

How does the HDMI 2.1 interface limit what I can actually run?

HDMI 2.1 caps the link at the bandwidth needed for 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz and enables Dynamic HDR, VRR and ALLM, but the host and display must also implement those features for them to work.
