DisplayPort to HDMI 4K 60 Hz HDR adapter cable

The StarTech 1 m active adapter cable connects a DisplayPort-equipped desktop to an HDR-capable HDMI display at 4K 60 Hz. It carries 18 Gbps bandwidth with HBR3 support, 4:4:4/RGB colour space at 8-bit with dithering, 7.1 channel audio and HDCP 1.4/2.3 compliance. No drivers or software are required on any operating system.

Thermals noise and power draw

The cable is a passive conduit with an integrated active converter, so it generates no audible noise and adds negligible heat to the system. Power for the conversion circuitry is drawn directly from the DisplayPort source, eliminating the need for an external supply. EMI cage shielding preserves signal integrity without increasing power demand.

Upgrade from passive dongles or lower-spec cables

This adapter replaces passive dongles that top out at 4K 30 Hz or lack HDR support, and it supersedes older cables limited to 1080p. The jump is worth it when the source and display both support 4K 60 Hz HDR and a single 1 m cable with latching DisplayPort is preferred over a separate converter plus cable. It is not for buyers who need longer runs, multiple outputs or DisplayPort input on the display.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the latching DisplayPort plug so it seats fully?

Insert the male DisplayPort end into the source until the latch clicks, then push the male HDMI end into the display; the integrated active converter needs no drivers or software to start passing 4K 60 Hz HDR.

Will the active converter chip or cable jacket degrade and need replacement?

The adapter cable has no user-serviceable parts; the built-in active converter and cage-shielded jacket are rated for continuous 18 Gbps operation, so no scheduled maintenance or component swap is expected.

At what point does the 18 Gbps bandwidth limit colour depth or refresh rate during long sessions?

The link caps at 4K 60 Hz with 4:4:4/RGB 8-bit colour and 7.1-channel audio; sustained use cannot exceed 18 Gbps, so higher bit-depth or faster refresh modes are not supported.
