connektgear USB 3.1 Type C to HDMI Active 4K Adapter – Male to Female – Thunderbolt and DP Compatible

This adapter uses an active chipset to convert DisplayPort over USB-C to HDMI. It supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels at 60 Hz. Because the cable is fixed at 0.22 m, it keeps a low profile behind your monitor. However, it does not support 4K output; the input title references 4K compatibility, but the specification lists 1080p maximum. So, verify your source device supports DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C.

Gold-Plated Contacts for Reliable Signal Transfer

The connector contacts feature gold plating. This helps reduce corrosion and maintain a clean signal path. For example, it supports stable video transmission in typical office environments. Because the jacket is PVC, it offers standard flexibility and durability. Also, the 0.22 m length minimises cable clutter on the desk.

Active Conversion for DisplayPort Alt Mode

This is an active adapter. It converts DisplayPort signals from a USB-C port to HDMI. In practice, this enables connection to HDMI monitors and projectors. However, it does not convert USB data to video. So, confirm your laptop or tablet supports DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C. Also, check your operating system’s display settings for mirroring or extending.

Compact, Low-Profile Design for Mobile Setups

The short 0.22 m cable keeps the adapter close to the source device. This reduces strain on the USB-C port and maintains a tidy workspace. Because it is lightweight at 50 g, it is easy to carry in a bag. Also, the black PVC jacket blends with most hardware. However, the fixed length may not suit rear-mounted ports on desktop PCs.

Plug and Play with Wide Compatibility

The adapter supports plug and play. No drivers are required for most modern operating systems. It is Thunderbolt and DisplayPort compatible. For example, it works with devices that output DP over USB-C. Also, the REACH and RoHS compliance certificates indicate restricted substance management. However, UKCA or CE marking is not specified; confirm local compliance if required.
