Mirror or extend a 4K monitor, projector, or TV to your computer
The Plugable USB-C to HDMI Adapter (USBC-THDMI) is for users who want to add a HDMI monitor, projector or television to their USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 compatible computer.
This compact adapter is under 2 inches in size, making it perfect for travel and taking on the go. Featuring a unique flat cable design, you can forget about messy cables and take advantage of the tight bend radius, which allows the adapter to fit in confined and compact spaces. The adapter enables an HDMI 1.4 output at resolutions up to 3840×2160 @ 30Hz (4K 30Hz) from systems which support “DisplayPort Alternate Mode” (Alt Mode) via USB-C.
Plug and Play
Alt Mode adapters allow you to add an additional display output easily and inexpensively on supported systems without needing to install additional software.
DisplayPort Alternate Mode provides 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.
4K Performance
Connect your HDMI equipped monitor, television or projector to your laptop and achieve resolutions up to 3840×2160 @ 30Hz (4K 30Hz).
Other popular supported resolutions include 3440×1440, 2560×1440, 1920×1200, 1920×1080 and lower.
Note: This adapter will not work with DisplayPort monitors.
Flexible Flat Cable
The adapter is equipped with a flat, printed circuit cable that allows for a small footprint and flexibility. This means the cable itself is more sturdy and less prone to breakage from everyday use like traditional, round, copper cables.
The compact and easy to use flat profile enables the adapter to hug surfaces and take advantage of tight spaces. This flexibility saves space and eliminates clutter so that you don’t have to deal with the cable mess.
Compact and Portable
Measuring in at 1.7in x 1in x .4in (4.3cm x 2.3cm x 1.1cm), the small, compact size is great for travel and small desk spaces.
Lighter than a pencil, this adapter makes for a great spare and is easy to take from your desk to the conference room. Throw it in your bag and you’ll forget it’s there until you need it.
