USB-C to DisplayPort

USB Type-C USB
DisplayPort (Full-Size) DisplayPort

USB-C to DisplayPort cable using DP Alt Mode. Supports up to 4K@120Hz with DP 1.4 or 8K with DP 2.1 variants.

Using DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C, this cable feeds a full-size DisplayPort monitor from a USB-C laptop or handheld. The DP 1.4 variant reaches 4K at 120 Hz with compression at 32.4 Gbps, while DP 2.1 versions extend to 8K on capable hardware. It is a frequent choice for connecting a MacBook or Windows ultrabook to a standard DisplayPort display without a dongle. The source device must advertise DP Alt Mode on its USB-C port for the link to negotiate. Passive cables at 2 meters are standard. Everyday laptop-to-monitor connections drive most sales, at prices around $10 to $20.
