The Plugable USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable enables a DisplayPort display to be connected to a computer via a USB-C port or Thunderbolt 3 port which supports “VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C" ("Alt Mode").
Supports resolutions up to 3840x2160@60Hz (4K) on DisplayPort displays.
Alt Mode adapters allow you to add an additional display output easily and inexpensively on supported systems. Since DisplayPort Alternate Mode is a direct pipeline to the host graphics processor (GPU) in your system, the connected display will function with the same uncompromising performance of a natively attached display.
Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient for the application being used.
Extend your viewing with ultra crisp resolutions up to 4K and clear audio—perfect for video, gaming, and working. No drivers to download, just plug and go. Use as USB C to DisplayPort adapter
