USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter Connects to Your Laptop''s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 PortThis USB Type-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter connects a Mini DisplayPort (mDP) monitor to the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer, tablet, laptop, notebook, MacBook, Chromebook, Ultrabook or smartphone. It''s an ideal connector for multitasking, presenting video at trade shows and conferences, editing documents, playing online games and watching movies on a larger screen. It saves you money by allowing you to use your existing mDP display instead of buying a new monitor. Supports USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for Transmitting Audio/Video SignalsBy connecting the built-in USB-C cable to a source device that supports USB DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K video and digital audio to a compatible monitor, television or projector without installing special software drivers. Transmits Crystal-Clear 4K Video and Digital Audio to a Mini DisplayPort MonitorTo send Ultra High Definition video and digital audio to an mDP television, projector or monitor, connect the mDP port to the display using an mDP cable (such as Tripp Lite''s P584-Series, sold separately). The mDP port supports Ultra HD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at 60 Hz, as well as 48-bit Deep Color (16 bits per channel). The USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable transfers data at rapid USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps. It also supports 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and RGB chroma subsampling for top-level PC gaming or using your HDTV as a PC monitor. Reversible USB-C Connector Attaches in Either DirectionUnlike traditional USB cables that connect in only one direction, the reversible USB-C male connector plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in either direction for a fumble-free connection every time. Ready to Use Right from the Package, So You Can Plug and Play ImmediatelyThe plug-and-play USB Type-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter requires no software or drivers to download and install. It''s backward compatible with 1080p displays, so you can use it with legacy equipment. Just connect the USB-C plug to the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on a source device that supports USB DisplayPort Alternate Mode. The lightweight aluminum housing is about half the size of a credit card, so it fits comfortably into your laptop bag, purse or briefcase for connecting to mDP monitors anywhere.
