Technical Overview
This DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable features a 20-pin DisplayPort 1.2 male connector on one end and a 19-pin HDMI 1.4 male connector on the other. The cable utilizes a passive conversion method that requires no external power or drivers, making it compatible with DP++ (dual-mode) sources including desktops with AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards, laptops, workstations, and docking stations.
The cable supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz refresh rate and 1920x1200 at higher refresh rates. It maintains signal integrity across its 3-meter length through quality construction and proper shielding. The integrated converter chip handles the digital signal conversion between DisplayPort and HDMI protocols while maintaining HDCP 1.4 and DPCP content protection standards.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This adapter cable combines convenience with performance through several thoughtful design elements that enhance reliability and ease of use in professional and home office environments.
Integrated Converter Design
The conversion chip is built directly into the HDMI connector, eliminating the need for a separate adapter dongle. This integrated approach reduces cable clutter, minimizes signal degradation points, and creates a cleaner installation.
- No separate adapter required
- Reduced signal loss
- Cleaner cable management
Secure Latching Mechanism
The DisplayPort connector features a positive latching system that clicks into place and requires deliberate pressure to release. This prevents accidental disconnections that can interrupt presentations or workflow.
- Prevents accidental disconnection
- Positive click confirmation
- Secure workstation connections
Broad Device Compatibility
Tested with DP++ source devices including workstations, desktops with dedicated graphics cards, laptops, small form factor computers, and docking stations. The cable works with monitors, projectors, TVs, and other HDMI displays.
- DP++ source compatible
- Works with AMD/NVIDIA graphics
- No drivers required
Deployment / Use Cases
This DisplayPort to HDMI cable serves multiple connectivity scenarios in business, education, and home environments where different display interfaces need to be bridged seamlessly.
In office settings, connect newer laptops or desktops with DisplayPort outputs to conference room projectors or secondary monitors that only have HDMI inputs. The 10-foot length provides flexibility for routing cables behind desks or across presentation spaces. For home offices, extend your workstation to a larger HDMI television or monitor for expanded screen real estate while maintaining 4K video quality.
Business Presentation Setup
Connect modern business laptops with DisplayPort outputs to HDMI-equipped projectors in conference rooms. The latching connector ensures stable connections during important presentations, while the 10-foot length accommodates various room layouts.
Multi-Monitor Workstation
Add HDMI monitors to DisplayPort-equipped workstations for expanded desktop space. The cable supports high resolutions for detailed design work, financial analysis, or multi-tasking across applications.
Physical Profile
The cable features a flexible black jacket that bends easily for routing around desks and through cable management systems. At 9.8 feet (3 meters) long and weighing just 4.10 ounces (116.30 grams), it provides substantial reach without adding significant bulk or weight to your setup. The black color blends discreetly with most office and home entertainment equipment.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 4.10 oz (116.30 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
