UGREEN 50994 USB-C to DisplayPort Cable 1.5 m, 4K 30 Hz, Black

Overview

The UGREEN 50994 is a 1.5 m one-piece cable in black with a USB-C plug at the computer end and a DisplayPort plug at the monitor end, replacing an adapter plus cable with a single lead. It connects a USB-C laptop or tablet that supports video output to a monitor or projector with a DisplayPort input, for a second screen at a desk or a larger picture for presentations. It supports 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, or 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, and the signal flows one way, from USB-C to DisplayPort.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a MacBook, Chromebook or Windows laptop with a video-capable USB-C port and a monitor with a full-size DisplayPort input.
• 4K is limited to 30 Hz, which suits documents, spreadsheets and video rather than fast gaming; at 1080p the refresh rate is 60 Hz.
• It is one way only: USB-C source to DisplayPort display. It cannot take a DisplayPort computer to a USB-C monitor.
• The USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt video.

Key features

• Up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, or 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz.
• Mirror (duplicate) and extended desktop modes.
• VL100 converter chip, designed to avoid a start-up splash screen when connected.
• Gold-plated connectors and multi-layer shielding.
• Black finish.
