USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter Cable, 4K, Aluminium

A 21-gram adapter on an 8 cm tail that puts a Mini DisplayPort socket on the end of a Type-C laptop: connect a display, monitor or projector with Mini DP input and mirror or extend the desktop without drivers, power or software. Video and audio travel together, so a display with speakers needs no second cable.

Resolution reaches 4K*2K (3840 x 2160) at 30 Hz, and 1080p runs at its normal rate. The C plug is reversible, the aluminium shell is built for a life in a laptop bag, and the link is DisplayPort 1.2 alt mode rather than a conversion chip — which is why it runs cool and needs no power.

Specifications

Three caveats straight from the factory sheet, because each one causes support tickets. A Mini DisplayPort cable is required and is not included. Do not stack a second adapter behind it — a Mini DP-to-DVI converter from another brand is not guaranteed to pass a clean signal. And use a Mini DisplayPort cable rather than a Thunderbolt cable, whose plug looks identical but is wired differently. If you need 4K at 60 Hz, choose a DisplayPort 1.4-class adapter; 30 Hz is the ceiling here.

Typical applications

• Monitor and projector connections for single-port Type-C laptops
• Classroom and conference-room presentations
• A bag adapter that weighs less than a spare key
