Plugable USB-C to HDMI 2.0 Adapter Cable The Plugable USB-C to HDMI 2.0 Adapter Cable enables an HDMI display to be connected to a computer via a USB-C port or Thunderbolt 3 port which supports “VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C"" (""Alt Mode""). DisplayPort signaling is converted to HDMI 2.0 by a chip in the adapter cable. 6 foot/1.8m cable is a seamless, single cable solution for connectiing from your Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C system to your HDMI display, allowing for tidy installation and cable management without the need for additional dongles and HDMI extension cables. Utilizes USB-C and HDMI 2.0 bandwidth to enable resolutions up to 3840x2160@60Hz (4K 60) and is backwards compatible with HDMi 1.4 displays and common resolutions below 4K such as: 3840x1440, 2560x1440, 2560x1080, 1920x1080 (1080P) and more. 4K at 60Hz Support Note: The host system must be able to support 3840x2160@60Hz and the connected monitor must comply with HDMI 2.0 standards in order to display 4K resolutions at a 60Hz refresh rate. Uncompromising Performance Alt Mode adapters like this USB-C to DisplayPort cable are a convenient option for adding an additional display output on supported systems. Since DisplayPort Alternate Mode is a direct pipeline to the host graphics processor (GPU) in your system, the connected display will function with the same performance as a natively attached display. Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient for the application being used.
