Product Features
Technical Overview
This adapter implements DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C, utilizing the full 32.4Gbps bandwidth of DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3. The active conversion circuitry ensures signal integrity across cable lengths while supporting advanced display technologies including Display Stream Compression (DSC) for higher resolution content and High Dynamic Range (HDR) for enhanced contrast and color depth.
The power delivery subsystem negotiates up to 60W from compatible USB-C power sources, passing this charging capability through to the connected laptop while maintaining simultaneous video transmission. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters during display connectivity, streamlining desk setups and reducing cable clutter.
This section brings together practical product details such as Adapter Type, Connector Type on First End, Connector on First End Details, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
This adapter serves as an essential connectivity tool for modern laptop users who require both display output and charging from limited USB-C ports. It's particularly valuable in corporate environments where employees use USB-C laptops with traditional DisplayPort monitors, conference room setups requiring both presentation display and device power, and home offices seeking to minimize cable clutter.
The Thunderbolt 3 compatibility extends usefulness to MacBook Pro and other premium laptop users, while the support for common business laptops like Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell XPS, and HP EliteBook models makes it a versatile addition to IT procurement lists. Educational institutions and digital signage deployments benefit from the reliable active conversion that maintains signal quality across various installation scenarios.
Corporate Workstation Expansion
Enable employees with USB-C laptops to connect to existing DisplayPort monitors while maintaining charging capability throughout the workday.
Conference Room Connectivity
Provide presenters with a single connection point for both display output and laptop power during meetings and presentations.
Physical Profile
The compact black plastic enclosure measures just 1.70 inches in length, making it highly portable for travel while maintaining a low-profile appearance when connected. The lightweight design at 0.80 ounces adds minimal bulk to laptop bags, and the durable construction withstands regular connection cycles in office environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.40" (10.16 mm), 1.60" (40.64 mm), 0.80 oz (22.68 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What resolution and refresh rates does this USB-C to DisplayPort adapter support?
This adapter supports maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320 (8K) at 60Hz refresh rate, or 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) at 120Hz. It utilizes DisplayPort 1.4 with HBR3 bandwidth (32.4Gbps) to deliver these high-performance video capabilities while maintaining signal integrity through active conversion circuitry.
How much power can this adapter deliver to charge my laptop?
The adapter provides up to 60W Power Delivery pass-through charging. This means it can negotiate power from a compatible USB-C power source and deliver it to your connected laptop while simultaneously transmitting video to your DisplayPort monitor, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter during display use.
Is this adapter compatible with Thunderbolt 3 laptops?
Yes, this adapter is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 3 laptops including MacBook Pro models. It works with any device that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C, which includes most modern Thunderbolt 3 implementations.
