DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0b adapter cable

This active cable converts a DisplayPort 1.4 source to an HDMI 2.0b display. It supports 4K 60Hz HDR video and 7.1-channel audio for desktop PCs, laptops and workstations. The twelve-foot length suits setups where the screen sits across a room or behind furniture.

Cage shielding and male-to-male connectors

Cage shielding provides EMI protection for a stable signal over the full length. Both ends are male, so the cable plugs directly into a DisplayPort output and an HDMI input without extra adapters. The active converter handles the protocol translation inside the plug housing.

Check your source and display capabilities

Verify that your source outputs DisplayPort 1.4 with HBR3 and that your display accepts HDMI 2.0b at 18 Gbps for 4K 60Hz HDR. The cable is backward compatible with 4K 30Hz and 1080p signals. HDCP 1.4 and 2.3 are supported for protected content playback.

Questions about this item

What does the DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0b interface cap at in practice?

The cable delivers 4K at 60 Hz with HDR10, 18 Gbps bandwidth, 4:4:4 8-bit chroma subsampling and 7.1-channel audio over its 12 ft length.

What physical space or mounting does the 12 ft active cable require?

Both ends are standard male connectors; the DisplayPort plug has a release button, the HDMI plug is friction-fit, and the 12 ft jacket needs only a clear path — no brackets or adapters.

How is this active DP-to-HDMI cable installed, and what step do people miss?

Plug the DisplayPort end into the source and the HDMI end into the display — no driver or external power needed — but the cable is unidirectional, so reversing the ends will give no signal.
