Adapting DisplayPort Sources to HDMI Displays

This adapter allows you to use a DisplayPort-equipped computer with an HDMI monitor or TV. It is a gender changer, converting a male DisplayPort connection to a female HDMI port. This is useful if you have a DisplayPort graphics card and need to attach a standard HDMI cable. Because it is an adapter, you must provide your own HDMI cable.

Clarifying Signal Conversion

This device is a passive gender changer. It does not convert the video signal protocol. DisplayPort and HDMI are different standards. For this adapter to work, your source device must support Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++). If your device does not output a native HDMI signal, this adapter may not function. Always verify your device’s output capabilities before purchase.

UK Compliance and Verification

The product colour is specified as black. However, compliance markings such as UKCA or CE are not stated in the provided information. You should confirm these markings are present if required for your use. Also, verify that the connector fits your specific hardware. The 20-pin DisplayPort connector is standard, but physical fit can vary.

Intended Use Case

This adapter is for technical setups where a direct male-to-male cable is not suitable. For example, it can connect a DisplayPort laptop to an HDMI projector using a standard HDMI lead. It is also useful for permanent installations where a female HDMI port is needed on a DisplayPort source. It is not a video converter for older analogue signals like VGA or DVI.
