Connectivity and resolution support
The SMUGDESK USB C to HDMI 2.1 cable links a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 source to an HDMI display. It delivers 8K at 30 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz and 2K at up to 240 Hz with 48 Gbps bandwidth. The braided cord suits laptop, phone or tablet users who need a single cable for high-refresh gaming or multi-monitor work. MacBook models are limited to 4K at 60 Hz.
Thermals noise and power
The cable draws bus power from the host port and has no active cooling or fan. Passive construction means zero acoustic output and negligible heat during normal operation. HDCP 2.3, DSC 1.2 and dynamic HDR are handled in hardware without driver overhead. One-way signal flow prevents reverse-current scenarios.
Build integration
At 6.6 ft the braided jacket reaches desk-mounted monitors or ceiling projectors without strain. Plug-and-play operation requires no software on Windows, Android or macOS devices that support DP Alt Mode. The HDMI connector fits standard ports on TVs, monitors and projectors, freeing the source device's other ports for peripherals or charging. Buyers needing HDMI-to-USB-C input or legacy USB-A video output cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item
How do I connect this 6.6Ft USB-C to HDMI 2.1 cable to my MacBook Pro for an 8K display?
Plug the USB-C end into a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 port that supports DP Alt Mode and the HDMI end into the display; note that MacBook models are limited to 4K@60Hz output regardless of the cable's 8K@30Hz rating.
Will the braided jacket or gold-plated connectors on this 48Gbps cable degrade and require replacement?
The braided cord and connectors are built for durability with no user-serviceable parts; replacement is only needed if physical damage occurs or the HDMI 2.1 specification is superseded by a future standard.
At what point does the 48Gbps bandwidth limit appear when running 4K@120Hz HDR gaming sessions?
4K@120Hz with HDR and DSC 1.2 fits within the 48Gbps bandwidth; the limit is reached only if you attempt uncompressed 8K@60Hz or higher colour-depth signals beyond the HDMI 2.1 spec.
