Slim Specs

Direct DisplayPort to HDMI Signal Path

This cable provides a direct link from a DisplayPort output to an HDMI input. It avoids the need for separate adapters. Because it is a single cable, it reduces points of failure. In practice, this simplifies your setup. However, you must ensure your graphics card supports Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++) for HDMI compatibility. The input does not specify this, so verify your device’s output capabilities.

Fixed 1080p Video Support

The cable supports 1080p video modes. This is suitable for standard Full HD monitors and TVs. It does not specify support for 4K or higher resolutions. If you require higher resolutions, confirm compatibility with your display and source device. For example, a 4K setup may need a different cable specification.

Robust 3-Metre Length

The 3-metre length offers flexibility for typical desk and entertainment centre arrangements. It allows you to position your display away from your computer. However, very long cable runs can sometimes affect signal quality. This length is standard for most domestic and office environments.

Universal Connector Compatibility

The cable uses a DisplayPort (male) connector and an HDMI (male) connector. It is designed for devices with these specific ports. It does not specify any other adapters or converters. Always check your device’s physical ports before purchase. For example, ensure your laptop has a full-size DisplayPort output.

Professional-Grade Cabling

The cable is black and follows standard VESA DisplayPort specifications. It is intended for audio/video transmission without royalties. The build quality is suited for permanent or semi-permanent installations. It does not specify shielding type or connector plating. For critical AV applications, confirm these details with the manufacturer.

Box contents

The product description does not list specific box contents. It only specifies the cable itself. Please verify what is included with your purchase from the distributor. For example, confirm if any documentation or adapters are provided.
