Description
Introduction
This USB Type-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable is a cable that connects a device with a USB Type-C port, such as a laptop or a smartphone, to a display or monitor with a DisplayPort 1.4 input.
DisplayPort 1.4 is a video and audio interface standard that supports high-resolution displays and advanced features such as High Dynamic Range (HDR) and higher refresh rates. USB Type-C is a versatile connector that can carry not only data but also video and audio signals.
By using a USB Type-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable, you can connect your USB Type-C device to a DisplayPort 1.4-enabled display or monitor, allowing you to extend or mirror your device's screen onto a larger external display. This is particularly useful for tasks that require a larger workspace, gaming, multimedia consumption, or professional work that demands high-quality visuals.
Specifications
- Connector: The cable will have a USB Type-C connector on one end and a DisplayPort 1.4 connector on the other end. The USB Type-C connector is reversible, allowing for easy and convenient connections.
- Resolution: The cable should support resolutions up to 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels) at a refresh rate of 60Hz or 4K@120Hz. This allows for incredibly detailed and sharp visuals on compatible displays.
- DisplayPort Version: The cable supports DisplayPort 1.4, which is the interface standard required to achieve 8K@60Hz resolution. DisplayPort 1.4 also offers other features like HDR (High Dynamic Range), which enhances the colour and contrast of the displayed content.
- Bandwidth: To support 8K@60Hz, the cable needs to provide sufficient bandwidth. DisplayPort 1.4 cables typically offer a high data transfer rate, such as 32.4 Gbps (Gigabits per second), to accommodate the large amount of data required for high-resolution content.
- Audio Support: In addition to video transmission, the cable should also support audio signals. DisplayPort 1.4 supports audio transmission along with video, allowing for a seamless multimedia experience.
