Nylon Braided DisplayPort to HDMI Cable 4K 60Hz – 1m or 2m or 3m

Description

A displayport to hdmi cable is the fix for the most common mismatch on a desk: the computer has DisplayPort outputs, the screen has HDMI inputs, and neither will talk to the other without help. This displayport to hdmi cable is a single lead rather than an adapter plus a cable — one thing to buy, one thing to fail, and nothing dangling off the back of the machine.

Direction matters, and it only goes one way

Read this part before you order. A dp to hdmi cable carries signal from a DisplayPort output to an HDMI input — computer, dock or workstation at the DisplayPort end, monitor, TV or projector at the HDMI end. It does not work in reverse. A console or set-top box with an HDMI output cannot be plugged into a DisplayPort monitor with this lead, and no displayport to hdmi cable will do that job; the conversion is built into the plug and it faces one direction only.

If that is what you need, a displayport to hdmi cable is not the product — it is a different one entirely. Ask us and we will point you at it rather than let you find out after delivery.

What it actually carries

DP 1.4 in, HDMI 2.0 out. That gives you 4K at 60Hz, or 1080p at 120Hz if you are driving a fast monitor instead of a big one, with audio carried down the same lead so a TV plays sound without a second cable. That is the full range a displayport to hdmi cable of this specification is built to deliver.

The HDMI 2.0 output is the ceiling here, not the DisplayPort input — worth knowing if you are comparing this dp to hdmi cable against a number on someone else’s listing. 4K60 is comfortably beyond what a projector or an office monitor asks for, and it is the point where a second screen stops feeling like a compromise rather than an extension.

When a displayport to hdmi not working problem is the source, not the cable

Most failures on this connection are not a faulty lead, and a displayport to hdmi not working is worth diagnosing before it is replaced. A passive displayport to hdmi cable relies on the computer’s DisplayPort output supporting DP++ — a dual-mode feature that lets the graphics card send an HDMI-shaped signal in the first place. Where DP++ is absent, a passive lead produces nothing at all: no picture, no error, no clue. It is the classic displayport to hdmi not working case, and it looks identical to a dead cable. Ask us what is in your machine before you assume the displayport to hdmi cable is at fault.

The other two causes are ordinary. Check the direction first, because a reversed connection is silent in exactly the same way. Then try the other DisplayPort output on the machine with the same dp to hdmi cable — a displayport to hdmi not working on one port and fine on another has told you the answer.

Built to be moved

Nylon braid over the jacket, moulded strain relief where the cable meets each plug. A dp to hdmi cable behind a desk gets pulled, coiled and trodden on, and the failure is almost always at the neck of the connector rather than in the middle of the run. The braid also stops the dp to hdmi cable knotting itself in a bag, which matters if this is the lead that travels with a laptop to meeting rooms.

Both plugs on this dp to hdmi cable are full-size and moulded to grip. Plug-and-play, with no drivers and nothing to install — the screen appears when the machine next looks for it.

One metre or two

Two lengths. One metre for a dock or a tower sitting on the desk beside the monitor; two metres for a machine on the floor, a wall-mounted TV, or a projector across a meeting room. Take the longer one if you are unsure: a displayport to hdmi cable pulled taut is the one that works loose, and slack costs nothing. Either length of this displayport to hdmi cable carries the same 4K60 signal.

Compatibility

Works with any device that has a DisplayPort output, including:

• Desktop PCs and workstations with a DisplayPort or DP++ graphics output
• Laptops with a full-size DisplayPort port
• USB-C and Thunderbolt docking stations with a DisplayPort output
• Mini PCs, thin clients and single-board computers with full-size DisplayPort

Connecting to any display with an HDMI input, including:

• Computer monitors
• Televisions
• Projectors
• Capture cards and HDMI switches

Signal travels one way only: DisplayPort output to HDMI input. This lead cannot connect an HDMI source (a console, set-top box or Blu-ray player) to a DisplayPort monitor.
