Bidirectional USB-C to DisplayPort 1.2 Cable

This active adapter cable carries 4K video at 60 Hz in either direction between a USB-C host with DisplayPort Alt Mode and a DisplayPort display, or between a DisplayPort source and a USB-C monitor. It suits laptop users and desktop builders who need a single reversible link without driver installation.

Sustained 4K 60 Hz operation within rated

The cable maintains its 21.6 Gbps HBR2 signal across the full operating span of 0 °C to 45 °C and tolerates storage from -10 °C to 70 °C. Humidity tolerance of 10 % to 85 % RH ensures stable output during long work sessions or extended media playback without thermal throttling.

Host must provide DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C

Video transport only functions when the USB-C port negotiates DisplayPort 1.2 alternate mode; pure data or charging-only ports will not pass a signal. Thunderbolt 3 ports meet this requirement, but standard USB 3.1 ports without Alt Mode do not.

Questions about this item

Does the CDP2DP1MBD cable generate noticeable heat when driving a 3840x2160 60 Hz display for hours?

The active adapter is rated for an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C, so it stays within safe thermal limits during continuous 4K 60 Hz use.

What must my USB-C port support for this CDP2DP1MBD cable to carry video?

The host USB-C port must implement DisplayPort Alt Mode; without that feature the cable cannot transmit a video signal.

Can I connect a legacy DisplayPort 1.2 monitor to a newer USB-C laptop using this CDP2DP1MBD cable?

Yes, the cable is bidirectional and DisplayPort 1.2 compliant, so a DP 1.2 monitor works with a USB-C host that supports DP Alt Mode.
