2M Active HDMI 2.0 to Displayport 1.2 Cable 4Kx2K 60Hz

Introduction

This HDMI to DisplayPort active cable is a specialized cable designed to connect devices with HDMI outputs (such as computers, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players) to devices with DisplayPort inputs (like certain monitors and displays). The term "active" indicates that the cable incorporates active electronics, usually in the form of a built-in converter chip, to convert the signal from HDMI to DisplayPort format.

The reason for needing an active cable for this conversion is that HDMI and DisplayPort use different signalling protocols, and a simple passive cable won't be sufficient to make the conversion. The active electronics in the cable help to actively convert the HDMI signal to a format that can be properly understood by the DisplayPort input on the target device.

It's important to note that the conversion is one-way, from HDMI to DisplayPort. If you need to connect a device with a DisplayPort output to a display with an HDMI input, you'll need an active DisplayPort to HDMI cable instead.
