Product Features
Technical Overview
This adapter cable uses DisplayPort 1.4 on the source end and HDMI 2.0b on the display end, supporting resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60Hz. It maintains 4:4:4/RGB color space with 8-bit color depth and dithering for accurate color reproduction. The active design includes adaptive receiver equalization to optimize signal integrity across the full cable length.
Shielding and gold-plated connectors prevent electromagnetic interference and ensure reliable connectivity. The latching DisplayPort connector secures the connection to the computer, while backward compatibility extends support to 4K 30Hz, 1080p, and lower resolutions for versatile use across different display generations.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
This adapter cable is engineered for professional and enthusiast environments where display connectivity must be both high-performance and reliable. It serves as a direct link between modern computers and HDMI-equipped monitors, projectors, or large-format displays.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting business workstations to 4K conference room displays, extending gaming PC output to HDR-capable televisions, or integrating graphic design systems with color-accurate monitors. The cable's length provides flexibility in desk and rack arrangements, while its shielding maintains signal quality in electrically noisy environments.
Business & Office Integration
Connect Dell, HP, Lenovo, and other enterprise desktops to HDMI monitors in multi-disployee setups, meeting rooms, or digital signage applications.
Content Creation & Multimedia
Deliver uncompressed 4K HDR video from editing workstations to reference monitors, ensuring color accuracy and detail preservation throughout production pipelines.
Physical Profile
The cable features a black PVC jacket that is both durable and flexible for easy routing. Gold-plated connectors enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, while the latching DisplayPort connector prevents accidental disconnection. With a weight of just under 3 ounces, the cable adds minimal bulk to setups while meeting RoHS and WEEE environmental standards.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.90 oz (82.21 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
