Features

Bi-Directional USB-C/DisplayPort Cable Delivers UHD Video to a 4K MonitorThis USB Type-C to

DisplayPort adapter (M/M) connects a 4K-enabled monitor, projector or television to your desktop
computer, tablet, laptop, notebook, MacBook, Chromebook or smartphone. Because the cable is capable
of transmitting data in either direction, you can connect a DisplayPort monitor to a USB-C (or Thunderbolt

3) source device or a USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3) monitor to a DisplayPort source. No other adapter or
cable is needed to complete your 4K audio/video connection.
Supports USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for Converting Audio/Video SignalsBy connecting the
cable to a source device that supports USB DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K video and digital
audio to a monitor, television or projector without installing special software drivers. The U444-006-DP-BD
is ideal for multitasking, presenting video at trade shows and conferences, editing documents, playing
online games and watching 4K movies on a larger screen.
Transmits Crystal-Clear 4K HDMI Video with HDR and 4:4:4 ColorThe U444-006-DP-BD supports
Ultra HD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at 60 Hz with multi-channel digital audio. It’s
compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 standards for carrying HDR (high dynamic range) signals, which provides
a wide range of vibrant colors with richer contrast, brighter whites and deeper blacks. HDCP 2.2
compliance allows you to stream iTunes and Netflix content with no complications. This adapter also
supports 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for top-level PC gaming or using your HDTV as a PC monitor.
Locking DP Connector Helps Prevent Accidental Disconnection and Expensive DowntimeHaving a
cable come loose accidentally can mean costly and time-consuming signal loss. The locking DisplayPort
connector helps you avoid such danger, protecting your audio/video transmission by maintaining a secure
link without failure. The locking cable is also invaluable when moving equipment in a rack or removing
equipment from tight areas, ensuring the cord always stays connected.
Reversible USB-C Connector Attaches in Either DirectionUnlike traditional USB cables that connect in
only one direction, the reversible USB-C male connector plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in
either direction for a fumble-free connection every time.
Ready to Use Right from the Package, So You Can Plug and Play ImmediatelyThe plug-and-play
USB Type-C to DisplayPort bi-directional cable requires no software or external power. The six-foot cable
is backward compatible with previous USB and DisplayPort generations, so you can use it with legacy
equipment.
