Cables Direct USB C to DP 4K @ 60HZ 1 m USB Type-C DisplayPort Black

Stable 4K at 60 Hz for desk setups

The cable supports 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz using DisplayPort 1.2 bandwidth. So you get smooth motion for office work, design, and video playback. Because it is a fixed one-metre run, it suits tidy desk layouts with the monitor close to the laptop.

USB Type-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode

USB 3.1 introduces the reversible Type-C connector and DisplayPort Alternate Mode. This allows the USB-C port to carry native DisplayPort signals directly to the monitor. In practice, you connect the cable and select DisplayPort input on the screen. However, your laptop’s USB-C port must support DP Alt Mode; check the manufacturer specs or manual.

Direct connection without adapters

The cable has straight USB Type-C to straight DisplayPort connectors. So there is no bulky adapter hanging off your laptop or monitor. This reduces strain on ports and keeps cable runs clean. Also, the one-metre length avoids excess slack on typical UK desks.

Compact and reversible connector design

The USB Type-C plug is smaller than older USB standards and can be inserted either way up. This speeds up setup and reduces port wear over time. Because the cable is fixed, you avoid carrying multiple dongles. However, always check that your laptop’s USB-C port is not data-only and supports video out.

Protected playback with HDCP

The cable supports HDCP, which is required for protected 4K content. So streaming services and licensed media players should work without copy protection errors. Also, it supports 2160p video modes for modern displays.
